Farmers in the Wyebrdige area gathered on Wednesday April 24, 2014 to voice their concern about a significant solar farm proposed for the area.

They lined up their tractors and trucks on Wood Road to slow traffic and raise awareness about the project and to protect what they say is good arable farmland.

Half a dozen dairy farms are in the area and farmers say despite their objections to the solar farm, they feel their voices are not being heard.

Organizers say they plan other protests to get people talking about the power of the Green Energy Act and to find other ways to deal with objections.
