Solar farms in Herefordshire

[Princess Pooper]

So, Boris has an article today in The Telegraph, in which he gushes about 'serried ranks of solar panels' in Herefordshire seen this over the weekend, 'in field after field'.

Although I know the county fairly well, I've not driven much in Herefordshire in recent years, so perhaps someone more local can enlighten me.

Are there lots of fields of solar panels or has Boris actually made an enormous Boris gaffe (which would no doubt pass unnoticed by most people) as he has driven past acres of potatoes, maize and other crops under plastic?

There may be the odd solar park,but I fear old Bozzer needs his eyesight checking as there are a LOT of polytunnels covering soft fruit and berries.

From what i see of herefordshire its new houses that have taken over the landscape, perhaps the solar boris has seen is ontop of these. Where the jobs are for all people set to live in them i dont know.

He specifically referred to 'field after field' and used an analogy of crops

Maybe he was in HerTfordshire, easy mistake . I have observed quite a lot of solar farms as I travel about the county, but not always visible from main roads. Perhaps he was looking for a quiet lay-by.

More like pollytunnels. Most of the ground mount field scale panels are tucked away and few and far between.

Didn't realise he ventured this far,hope it's a one off.
There are no big solar farms in Herefordshire,
perhaps he thinks we are still part of Worcestershire
where larger parks exist.
