solar on pastures can actually benefit milk production from dairy cows by providing shade.

I am not talking about building a shade for the animals to stay. Every dairy farm I have seen have a barn for the cows to come and go as they want. Most have additional pole barns as needed. Funny thing is, I have been cold, wet, freezing my ass off and the cows are happy following me around.

Putting solar on the barns would be GREAT.

I am talking about taking a field which was growing corn and beans last year and now it is growing solar.

And if after we make shade over all the parking lots and on top of buildings like parking garages where they can without much effort. (Note I am not saying you need to put it on your house, but if you have a driveway that isn't used for basketball....) Then take to the hills which are too steep for growing plants and areas with poor soil..... Then to the good farm fields if they are more valuable than using them for farming.
