📣 Maryland farmers and citizens are taking a stand.
SB 931—the so-called “Renewable Energy Certainty Act”—was rushed through the legislature, putting solar developers ahead of local communities and stripping counties of their zoning authority over large-scale energy projects.
Now it’s up to us to stop it.
A referendum petition is underway to put SB 931 on the 2026 Maryland ballot, giving the people—not just politicians—a say in whether this damaging bill becomes law.
Here is the link to the official petition and instructions

The Farmers Alliance for Rural Maryland (F.A.R.M.) is a grassroots organization of Maryland farmers and agriculture advocates working to protect and preserve Maryland’s rural landscapes. This organization of farmers will oppose eminent domain initiatives, state preemption of local zoning laws, and any proposals that threaten the future of Maryland agriculture, such as commercial solar fields, data centers, battery storage, power lines, and warehouse centers on zoned agricultural lands.
