We have hundreds, if not thousands of these things in my neck of the woods. Around here, it is just a way for landowners to get long-term lease payments on ground that is non-arable and non-grazeable.

Or the insane ethanol program, which is just another wealth transfer program of the FED GOV.

Ethanol As Fuel - A Net Energy Loss and Humantarian Disaster

Professor Ted Patzek, a geoengineering professor at UC Berkley, initially calculated that producing ethanol results in a 65% energy loss. When he looked at it in more detail, including things like fuel used to produce fertilizer, waste water costs, energy used in transportation and other energies involved in ethanol production he concluded that energy consumption may be as high as six times that produced.
