In 2001, 125 wind turbines went up on Texas land used for sheep grazing and hunting; those uses continued, while the project paid about $930,000 in school taxes

In Texas, large wind turbines coexist with agricultural activities, allowing farmers to maintain traditional crops and livestock. Many landowners lease land to energy companies, providing them with stable income compared to traditional farming. Wind projects also contribute significantly to local school funding through property taxes. Despite their presence, wind energy accounts for a small portion of overall farm income and energy capacity.
