I have been rolling this idea around in my head for a few years, so here it goes. Do you think that people living in the city would pay to rent a small portion of land to grow a garden on? I am thinking I could rent out a small portion of land and the renter can come out and raise any legal crop their little heart desires. A good sized garden be raised in a 80x100 area I would think. That is 8000 sqare feet or about 1/5 of an acre. So in an 80 acre field I could have 400 plots or 20,000 dollars. Around my area corn averages about 150 bushels to the acre, so 150 times 80 is 12,000 multiplied by $2.00 a bushel is only $24,000.00 without any expenses taken out.
I realize that location is a very big thing and the size of the city that one is close to has a big impact on things, but do you think this is doable.
Each "renter" would be liable for their own fertilzer and every thing else just like renting a real farm.
I would have to carry good liability insurance but what other unexpected costs would I have? Is anyone already doing this? I would be really intersted in any input you may have. Thanks Jaker

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
