We’re proud to see ASGA President Chad Raines featured in The Bully Pulpit!

Chad’s story highlights the real-world impact of solar grazing, turning a challenge into a path toward stability, regeneration, and long-term opportunity for his family’s 4th-generation farm in West Texas. Facing years of drought, rising costs, and stagnant commodity prices, Chad knew something had to change. Through agrivoltaics, he found a way not just to survive, but to rebuild.

What started as a bold shift has grown into a thriving operation, one that restores soil health, supports pollinators, and keeps land in productive agricultural use while generating reliable income.

As Chad puts it: “We are doing so much more than keeping the grass down with the sheep; we are healing the land.”

His experience is a powerful example of how agrivoltaics can help farmers adapt, strengthen rural communities, and create a more resilient future for agriculture.
