Has anyone herd of this company "Three Points Land", from Oklahoma City OK. they are looking for land to put solar panels on and in the letter it sounds pretty good finically compared to corn and soybeans. But it usually don't end up that way!

You should see the massive land destruction that has been done for a solar panel farm less than 3 miles from my place. I had understood that solar panels could conform to the natural lay of the land, not at this project there are 3 huge mosquito breeding ponds that have been dug with the equal mountain of rocks that came from the holes. The you go down to the big city of Frederick and look at all the warehouses with bare flat roofs that would be the perfect place for solar panels. Then there is also the big Data center being built without a single solar panel in any proposal. Once all the farmland that gets destroyed to put in solar panels starts getting taxed as industrial after it get taken out of agricultural production, then how does it pay for you sell outs? Solar has it's place, it's just not on productive farmland, unless it is done in such a way to remain as grazing land.

Before the solar was even thought of being in an open field there was concern of the amount of land lost to development. Can’t imagine how much land is being lost now. I see in the future the no trespassing signs on fence will have above them contaminated site keep out. Because they will stop producing and who will pay to clean them up. Or where will you take them. To the landfills that are already full. They claim the solar is to help the environment. I see it just making another mess.

There is not really "contamination", the main problem are all the cement piers for ground anchors so the panels don't fly away.
When they give up the project they pull the panels to resell and the copper wire and maybe the iron bracket bracing for scrap, but leave you with a grid of cement tree stumps four foot in the ground.
So make sure they do a clean up in the contract.

If any of the cells become damaged, hail is a big problem these leach the Cadmium, Arsenic, Lead and other nasty elements used to produce the Under Glass components. Leads to issues that if notice are usually CONEX boxes on the sites, away from the viewed edge, these to store broken panels as cannot be removed from the sites except by a Hazmat hauler to a recycler that as yet does NOT exist.
