Fastline you are going back wards with your crop choices. Your earlier post about produce and all would might work in an Eastern state. If you are in Central Kansas there just is not enough people to make the produce type crop work at the scale you are talking. Also Kansas is pretty dry state in the summer. So unless you have irrigation the crop choices are pretty limited.
You need to research the retail market for a crop you can grow. The selling side is the hard part. Any fool can grow something but you have to have a crop/product that some one is willing to buy.
Saw a large field 50-60 acres of pumpkins grown close to here a few years ago. The guy though he could sell them to some processor. HE found out real quick that they are grown/sold on a contract.
