; (C) retain covered farmland; (D) increase economic opportunities in farming and rural communities, including new revenue streams and job creation; (E) reduce nonfarmer ownership of covered farmland; and (F) enhance biodiversity; (4) assess the types of agricultural land best suited and worst suited for shared solar energy and agricultural production; (5) study the compatibility of different species of livestock with different solar panel system designs, including— (A) the optimal height of and distance between solar panels for livestock grazing and shade for livestock; (B) manure management considerations; (C) fencing requirements; and (D) other animal handling considerations; (6) study the compatibility of different crop types with different solar panel system designs, including— (A) the optimal height of and distance between solar panels for plant shading and farm equipment use; and (B) the impact on crop yield; (7) evaluate the degree to which existing Federal, State, or local tax incentives result in the development of covered farmland under study; (8) recommend effective incentives that could shift solar panel installations towards the built environment, brownfield sites, and other contaminated sites; (9) evaluate the effectiveness of programs administered by the federal government related to solar energy development that— (A) results in the development of contaminated lands, the built environment, and other preferred sites; and (B) discourages solar panel installations that would convert covered farmland out of agricultural production; and (10) estimate the loss of agricultural production on covered farmland due to solar panel installations.
