Is Frito-Lay <\/span>categorically refusing to buy potatoes grown on farmland that has hosted solar installations? No, the company says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That hasn\u2019t stopped lawmakers in Michigan and Pennsylvania from spreading the false claim about one of the biggest purchasers of potatoes in the country.<\/p>\n

In January, Michigan Republican state Rep. Cam Cavitt\u00a0posted a\u00a051-second clip to Facebook\u00a0labeled\u00a0\u200b\u201cSolar Farm\u00a0SECRET.\u201d In the segment, he claimed that farmers in his district couldn\u2019t grow potatoes on land where solar developments were\u00a0sited.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrito [Frito-Lay] did the same with the potato growers up by us,\u201d fellow Michigan Republican Rep. Dave Prestin told Cavitt in the clip.\u00a0\u200b\u201cAny field that had solar panels installed on it will never be allowed to grow potatoes for human consumption due to the leaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than\u00a01\u00a0million people viewed that video. Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Cris Dush shared it and said\u00a0he wanted\u00a0\u200b\u201ccash bond guaranteeing restoration\u201d\u00a0of the soil after a\u00a0solar development was removed.\u00a0\u200b\u201cWhen Frito Lay refuses to accept potatoes from farms that had solar arrays we should all sit up and take notice!\u201d he\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n

PepsiCo, which owns Frito-Lay, told Canary Media that the company\u00a0\u200b\u201chas not issued blanket guidance to growers that fields with solar installations will not be accepted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nor is there any published evidence that solar farms have a\u00a0negative impact on potato farming, according to experts consulted for this story. On the contrary, there is agrivoltaics research showing that potatoes\u2014and many other crops\u2014can benefit from growing alongside shade-making solar panels.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, this false claim about solar is gaining some traction. Like other forms of misinformation about renewables, it helps fuel local pushback to proposed energy installations.<\/p>\n

The claim comes amid a\u00a0broader wave of opposition\u00a0to building solar arrays on farmland.<\/p>\n

As energy developers look to build more solar installations to meet climate goals and fast-rising electricity demand in the U.S., more and more projects are being proposed on flat and sunny land that could otherwise grow crops. The impact these projects may have on the land is often exaggerated by opponents\u2014including Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers\u2014who\u00a0claim solar will destroy\u00a0prime farmland.<\/p>\n

American Farmland Trust, a\u00a0nonprofit dedicated to preserving agricultural land, found that by\u00a02040,\u00a0\u00a0could be used for solar installations. That\u2019s less than\u00a01\u00a0percent of the farmland across the Lower\u00a048\u00a0states.<\/p>\n

Such misinformation could threaten not only solar developments but also farmers\u2019 livelihoods. Farmers can earn tens of thousands of dollars by leasing land to solar developers, providing a\u00a0financial lifeline in a\u00a0precarious agricultural market. Potato farmers in particular could have a\u00a0hard time leasing under\u00a0\u200b\u201cthis sort of speculated risk,\u201d according to Scott Laeser, senior working lands adviser for the Rural Climate Partnership, a\u00a0nonprofit connecting rural and renewable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaising these claims about solar could prevent farmers from diversifying their income stream and adding a\u00a0really stable source of income to their operation, which I\u00a0suspect most farmers would be pretty happy to add in the volatile moment that we\u2019re in,\u201d he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

The speculation about<\/span> solar\u2019s impact on potatoes began a\u00a0year ago with a\u00a0statement\u00a0from the agricultural trade group Potato Growers of Michigan. While the organization recognized the role of renewable energy in Michigan\u2019s future, it didn\u2019t want solar on farmland and cited concerns about food safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen solar panels and systems are eventually removed, small fragments of plastic and metal may remain in the soil,\u201d the statement read.\u00a0\u200b\u201cFor crops like potatoes, which grow underground, this poses a\u00a0unique and serious risk. Tuber vegetables can readily engulf foreign objects, creating contamination hazards that impact not just growers, but also processors and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s no evidence to suggest that this actually happens, experts say.<\/p>\n

Steven Loheide, a\u00a0civil and environmental engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, is located in one of the three biggest potato-growing states and researches the interaction of solar projects and farmland. Loheide had not heard of the concern from Michigan potato growers.<\/p>\n

Nor had Alan Knapp, a\u00a0plant ecologist at Colorado State University, who added that he did not know of any scientific study finding that solar panels installed aboveground could impact potato crops grown belowground. Knapp noted that there\u2019s a\u00a0list of worries about what happens underneath solar panels\u2014like toxins leaching into the soil or metal and silica shards impacting crops\u2014and most are unfounded.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve never heard of any sort of toxicity issues or any concerns about the quality of the crop being consumed by humans being impacted by the installation of solar panels above,\u201d Knapp\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Rumors have spread anyway.<\/p>\n

In August\u00a02025, a\u00a0\u00a0a\u00a0project in Kentucky called\u00a0Wood Duck Solar\u00a0quoted the Potato Growers of Michigan statement. Potential contamination from the\u00a0100-megawatt solar field threatened food safety, the farmer wrote. That project was ultimately approved.<\/p>\n

In March\u00a02026, Dennis Iott, the chair of the Potato Growers of Michigan, along with Kelly Turner, executive director of the Michigan Potato Growers Commission, another trade group,\u00a0repeated the claims\u00a0at a\u00a0Michigan House Agriculture Committee hearing.<\/p>\n

Solar threatens potato growers because the vegetables require a\u00a0lot of land that farmers often lease in rotational years, but solar groups are buying up that land, Turner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot blame them for signing the solar contracts,\u201d Turner said of the farmers.\u00a0\u200b\u201cThe problem is, though, that it takes that land out of production, and now it starts to hurt economies of scale because there\u2019s no more land near the grower to be able to create enough land to have those rotations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Potatoes are also ground crops, and could form around foreign objects in the ground, Turner purported, including whatever might be left behind after a\u00a0solar system is dismantled.<\/p>\n

But Iott, speaking after Turner at the hearing, admitted,\u00a0\u200b\u201cThe food safety issue hasn\u2019t been seen yet, because we haven\u2019t taken those solar fields out. But it will be a\u00a0problem for anything that grows in the\u00a0soil.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iott and Turner did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At some point, the general speculation raised by industry lobbyists morphed into specific falsehoods about Frito-Lay, and caught the ear of the lawmakers from Michigan and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Neither Cavitt nor Prestin responded to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Lynsey Mukomel, communications director for the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said she and her colleagues were not aware of any statements made by Frito-Lay or any other company asking Michigan farmers not to grow potatoes on land with solar installations.<\/p>\n

And, of course, PepsiCo itself said it had issued no such directives.<\/p>\n

The furthest PepsiCo says it has gone is to provide growers with its carefully worded perspective on endorsing solar outside of\u00a0\u200b\u201cprime agricultural lands,\u201d but only when growers have asked them directly, a\u00a0company spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

While the firm says it values solar energy as part of its corporate decarbonization goals, it endorses solar and other renewable installations outside of\u00a0\u00a0\u200b\u201cin order to avoid potential impacts to crop yields, quality and the creation of other unintended consequences,\u201d a\u00a0spokesperson for PepsiCo said in an\u00a0email.<\/p>\n

Although there is no evidence that solar panels damage potato farmland, there is mounting proof that siting solar and crops on the same land can be beneficial.<\/p>\n

A four-year\u00a0study in Italy published earlier this year\u00a0showed that agrivoltaic systems, which combine farming with photovoltaic electricity generation, could potentially support potato crops.<\/p>\n

Solar panels can help retain groundwater as rain runs off the sloped panels which then provide shade that blocks the sunlight and helps retain moisture, Loheide said. He has also studied solar\u2019s impact on native pollinator habitats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a\u00a0huge opportunity to get both agricultural benefits and energy production off a\u00a0single plot of land,\u201d said Loheide, who was not part of the Italian study.<\/p>\n

Despite the evidence, speculation that strikes a\u00a0nerve has a\u00a0way of circulating anyway. After all, concerns that offshore wind hurts whales, a\u00a0claim that lacks any evidence, have turned out to be one of the biggest vectors of attack on the beleaguered energy source.<\/p>\n

Speculation about potatoes and solar may never rise to quite that level. But it doesn\u2019t seem likely to fade away, either. Late last month, a\u00a0post on X\u00a0from a\u00a0prominent anti-solar account\u00a0repeated the falsehood that customers won\u2019t buy potatoes grown on land that once hosted solar. It racked up nearly\u00a010,000\u00a0shares and\u00a020,000\u00a0likes.<\/p>
