Discussion Board - 5 or 6 acre cash crop

Link

A lot of work but once the vines are in, it is just maintenance.

Look for very cold hardy types where you live.

cheers

Best cash crops are not exactly legal - "wacky tobacky" (or "weed") is highly (pun intended) profitable but a single crop can cost you 5 to 10 years in the pokey ;>}

If you have a ready market okra can make you a killing - but it is labor intensive and must be cut over every other day. I know a guy who let a black family that had 4 or 5 kids take care of 12? acres of okra on his old family farm one summer. He planted and farmed it, they picked half of it each day, he took it to market and split profits with them. I forget the number but it was over $10K gross for the summer (it was a real good summer for okra). Other vegetables are just as timing-sensitive when it comes to harvesting and you must have a ready market to sell into.

income is labor intensive -

if you want income you have to work
