A northern Missouri man has filed a lawsuit against farm equipment maker Deere & Co. and a wind energy
company alleging nearby wind turbines have hurt his property values
and made him ill.
Charlie Porter filed the lawsuit in the 4th Circuit Court of
Missouri against Deere and The Wind Capital Group, a St.
Louis-based wind energy company.
Porter says the 260-foot turbines near his home outside King
City have led to loss of property value and sleep deprivation
caused by noise from the turbines. Some of the turbines are within
about 1,200 to 1,500 feet of his home, according to the lawsuit.
Tom Carnahan, president and CEO of Wind Capital Group, said
Porter's claims have no merit and points out that no other
landowners in the area have had any problems with the turbines.
