I mean this in the nicest of ways - You're nuts!

I think there is only one crop that can be profitable on $40k an acre land. Right now I think we import a lot of it from Mexico and Columbia. If the land is worth that much per acre sold, it must be renting for $1500 - $2000 per acre? There again, what could you grow to make any money?

Can you get a return on your $$$ after you rezone, run the water and the sewer? If you can make a decent profit, I would do it. But if it's skimpy I'd run.

I have no advice on crops. I have heard of people renting out garden plots to city dwellers though. You could seed grass roads in it for access. Just a thought.

Have a great day.
