Ironically, a wind farm that would extract energy from the wind and convert it to electricity was rejected July 2007. A judge ruled with Boone County by rejecting a proposed wind farm on unincorporated land. Judge Gerald Grubb ruled that the county justifiably denied a request to construct wind turbines on farm land north of Caledonia and Poplar Grove in Boone County.
