Andrew Dakin , 65 , is a tenant farmer on Kidsley Park Farm in Heanor, Derbyshire .
He has a lifetime tenancy but his landlord wants to take it back from him if they can get planning permission to change its use from agriculture.
UK Solar Alliance says 70,000 acres of productive land face a current threat of being turned over to solar.
Robert and Emma Sturdy are tenants at Eden Farm in Old Malton , North Yorkshire , in the family since 1954 .
130 acres of decent growing land at the heart of the farm’s total of 280 , was going to be used for 90,000 solar panels.
After three years of campaigning and sleepless nights about their future, a planning decision was reached last October .
Now, however, the deep-pocketed freeholders and Harmony Energy have lodged an appeal that will not be decided until the end of September .
Emma Sturdy's husband's family have invested 70 years into the farm.
The chances of them ever being able to afford to buy their own farm one day are remote.
“With land prices now, farms are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us,” she says.
