Watts up,
Rod?

He had “no position” on industrial solar while holding a solar lease on his own farm.1
Now he says the lease is terminated. The paperwork raises new questions.3

01 — The Stake

“No position.”

That’s Rod Kuegel on industrial solar farms, March 2026.1

A solar lease on his own farm.

Option and Solar Energy Lease dated March 17, 2022. Recorded with the Daviess County Clerk, MC 275 PG 230.2

02 — The Cancellation

“Terminated.”

Now Rod says the lease ended in August.3

The recorded lease

Haycraft Solar Project, LLC2

The termination letter

Two different names. Who had the authority to end it?

03 — The Acres

How many acres?

~100

Acres, by Rod’s account3

Acres referenced in the recorded memorandum2

Awaiting acreage from MC 275 PG 230

04 — The Spend

$250,000+

Spent chasing a county judge/executive seat.4

Why does he want
this seat so bad?

Confirm figure against KREF filings

05 — The Office

He signed a solar lease.

He wants the office that writes the solar rules.6

06 — The Land

Two visions.
One county.

A corn field at sunset with a farmstead and two silos on the horizon.
The same view at sunset with the fields covered in rows of solar panels.
Daviess County, today Rod Kuegel’s vision

Daviess County ranks 2nd in Kentucky in agricultural sales.5

07 — The Silence

Eight questions.
Still unanswered.

  1. Who owns Haycraft Solar Project, LLC today?
  2. What authority do Urban Grid Solar Projects, LLC and Stewart West have to act for Haycraft Solar Project, LLC?
  3. Will you release every assignment, amendment, merger, or agency agreement tied to the March 17, 2022 lease?
  4. How many acres does the lease cover, yours and your neighbor’s?
  5. Has the termination been recorded with the Daviess County Clerk?
  6. Why say “no position” while the lease was in effect?
  7. Why spend more than $250,000 to win a county office?
  8. If elected, will you recuse yourself from every solar decision?

Before you vote,
ask Rod.
