FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) -- The agricultural community in Frederick County is banding together in an effort to stop power lines from being run through the land. Linganore Wineries said the project could have a major effect on the business. 3 from Frederick Health awarded Allies of the Year award Eric Aellen is the vineyard manager for Linganore wineries which has been around since 1976 with a view that people flock to. And with the possibility of power lines being run through his land, that could all change. "We bought this farm in 1971, but we didn't buy it with a back view or a backdrop of huge power lines," Aellen said. The Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project would have a 70-mile-long transmission line that would pass through Baltimore and Carroll counties and end at the Doubs substation in Frederick County. "It's shocking and kind of an insult to us and all of our farmers," Aellen said.

"You can get what they call 'nuisance shocks' while you're working in the vineyard," Aellen said. "We might have to move that vineyard and lose the potential for tons of grapes." DC News Now reached out to the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project for comment on the concerns but did not hear back in time for publication.
