Farms could power their entire operation with panels above or adjacent to crops, selling excess power as well as produce.

they don't do this already?

Canadian farms run 100% on solar for water pumps and sprinklers.

I am sure some do but I don't think it's the norm. Just judging from the people around me, I see some small solar installations and a few larger ones, but by far most places don't have any visible panels.
