Community Wind: A Review of Select State and Federal Policy Incentives
“Community wind” refers to a method of wind energy development that intentionally seeks to optimize local benefits. For purposes of this report, “community wind” includes locally owned wind projects that sell or offset energy on the electric grid. For a project to be locally owned, community members must have a direct financial stake in the project beyond just land leases or local tax revenue. This report discusses laws from Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, and the federal government that impact the viability of community wind development. These states were chosen because they have laws that are specifically targeted at community wind or are states that have significant wind power development potential. (August 2006)

Farmers' Guide to Minnesota Lending Law
Credit is the lifeblood of farming. Serious price, production, and weather difficulties almost always become credit problems. The stark and ongoing reality is that mortgaged farms are lost or nearly lost to foreclosure, property pledged as collateral is repossessed, judgment liens are entered— and the livelihood of family farmers is threatened. Credit problems are almost always legal problems. In an ideal world, the law would be clear enough and the legal system fair enough that everyone would be on a more or less even footing in legal matters. Unfortunately, the law can be complicated, and even where the law is simple at its core, legal language is confusing and difficult. Farming without a working knowledge of lending law—or the resources to buy legal assistance— can have devastating results. The aim of this book is to give farmers a basic outline of lending law. Because so few legal situations are exactly the same, this book can only offer a general outline of the law.
