You need a market for it first. Other than the initial tillage and seedbed prep it's all manual work. You might be able to cultivate with a tractor for weeds.
You aren't planting seeds, can't plant with a conventional drill or planter. You're planting cloves of garlic in the fall and come spring they grow and in July you harvest. Weed pressure reduces yield significantly (bulb size and weight). Disease pressure and insect pressure can wipe you out and keep you from replanting garlic for YEARS. Once you dig the bulbs you need to peel the outer wrapper leaves to get the dirt off, you can't wash it like potatoes.
