Most usually as in the past, to pump well water to irrigate their fields with. Holland is a good example with the way they pump water out of the swamps.
However, only recently, here in Wyoming a local farm installed a bunch of wind mills to generate electricity with & get paid by the power companies.
They don't realize that all actions have subsequent reactions. To burn oil is to create smoke. To install windmills will, as they will eventually find out, will slow the wind & slow the rotation of the Earth.
Overpopulation is the problem, not the answer.
