There's a large windfarm, actually three of them in Gratiot Co MI. None 
of the hams have complained about RFI, or signal interaction, but I'd 
not want to be real close to one of the tower.

These are very quiet.  Even standing under the blades there is very 
little noise that can only be heard for a short distance.  I still own a 
farm over there, but rent it out.  It's about a half mile to the nearest 
tower and there is no audible sound from the tower at that distance.

This is FLAT land across any mile you may only find a few feet in variation.
