John Deere Wind Farm

John Deere has a wind turbine financing program for those with a good "wind regime". They lease the land or split the electricity revenue from farmers that can place wind turbines on their land.

Kansas has wind farms being built including a 110 megawatt wind farm.

Cheap land, good sustained wind, access to power transmission, and tax credits might make it worthwhile to find land specifically for wind mills.

This article by Business 2.0 on John Deere wind farms is a good introduction to the topic.
