Looks to me like all he would be doing is plowing, discing and riding his tractor along with getting a lot of fresh air. From the thread on Lavender; "More than three quarters of Sequim�s lavender production is distilled into oils and sold on the international market; prices vary from about $30.00 to $49.50 per liter (1.1 quarts) depending on the type and quality of the oil. Oil production per acre varies greatly with the genus of lavender being grown. For example, Lavandula x. intermedia �Grosso�, produces 76 liters per acre in Sequim while L. angustifolia �Maillette� produces only 16 liters per acre. Although the angustifolia oil harvest is much lower that that of the intermedia, the angustifolia oil, used in fine perfumes, commands a premium on the world market."
Huh! If my math is right $480.00 to $3762.00.
Dunno about this stuff.
