There are guys doing that. You can plant crops or run cattle if you want. I really don't know how common it is, but it's been done.

Funny story: I was at a meeting back in '99 when they were announcing all this development, and someone piped up asking if the turbines were bulletproof. Apparently someone planned on shooting it.
