Huffstutlar said that as soon as the Canadian Hills wind project turbines — some of which are around 1,300 feet from the family’s barn — were turned on in late 2012, she and her husband, Rick, started experiencing a huge decrease in their quality of life.

She said flickers from the turbines’ blades interrupt sleep and make parts of the house uninviting, and when they’re outside, they live with constant noise. The turbines also seemed to aggravate a previously under-control health problem for her husband.

Today, the Huffstutlars are about a month and a half from moving into a new home, one that they’re building on land around 35 miles west of the home that had once been perfect for them. The couple had been in different stages of the grieving process for several years, Huffstutlar said, but around nine months ago they finally decided that they had to relocate.

“It’s been a huge undertaking,” she said. “We’re not just moving our home. We’re moving our cattle business, our horse business and our horseshoeing business. It’s not like just packing up your household belongings in a U-Haul and driving down the road.”
