“Tasmania’s first solar farm will host “a couple of thousand” sheep and is a perfect solution for delicate pasture, says the landowner who is behind the $500 million Northern Midlands Solar Farm.”

Questions
Where does this come from?
Northern Midlands Solar Farm is listed by AEMO Generation Information, an EPBC referral to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). Capacity is AEMO's AC figure where AEMO lists the farm, else Geoscience Australia's, else the Clean Energy Regulator's installed capacity. Its location is the centre of the area referred under the EPBC Act, which can be larger than the farm. The dashed line on the map is the area referred under the EPBC Act, not the farm's footprint.
How are sheep, cattle and crops checked?
Records are found by automated web search and confirmed by code checks plus two independent automated classifiers; no person reviews them. A quote is shown only when its page is online, the quote appears on it word for word, the page names this farm close to the quote, and both classifiers agree on whether it says sheep, cattle or crops, now or planned. Descriptions of the land before the farm was built are not shown. "No public record" means nothing was found, not that there is none. Agrivoltaics, or agrisolar, means producing solar power and farming on the same land; this site lists what public pages say and does not rate any farm.
