When solar farms are more than like 0.01% of land utilization then maybe its worth caring about.
For the same land you can power a household or get like 8 pounds of beef. who cares.
Just install solar panels where its cheapest, which is going to be an empty field where you can install a ton and get better labor efficiency during the install.

back of napkin math
Average household is about 10000 kWh annually Solar farms conservatively 350MWh/year/acre
so 1/35 of an acre to power a home
roughly 3000 pounds of soybeans per acre becomes roughly 300 pounds of beef/acre.
300*(1/35) = 8.6
