Warren Boosts Wool Revenue

Tom Warren, a Dubbo farmer in New South Wales, operates 30,000 solar panels on a 50-hectare farm.
Sheep graze beneath the panels, gaining shade and steady feed, with a 15% increase in wool quality and revenue.
Warren partners with Neoen, and solar income surpasses traditional agriculture.
Tony Inder supports the method, noting wool growth under panels, while Australia remains reliant on fossil fuels for growth.
