Already built.
Our idea search suggested this for small farms, then checked it against what already exists. The search found it covered, so we dropped it.

Taken does not mean closed.
The broad version of this idea exists. A narrower one, for a specific buyer, city or step in the work, might not. Run the free search with what you know and who you can reach. It drops what is taken and shows what is still open.
