Any type of farming will prove to have alot of cost. If your growing apple's, pear's, etc for market, you will have to manage pest. People normally want fruits that are not covered with insects, or disease symptoms. Sod farms are also expensive. I would use it to produce some type of forage if your interested in farming. It can be low maintenance, and you may be able to find people to harvest it at a low cost f you dont have the equipment.

How is the hay business up in your area, Peakstryde?
Is it level land? Are you able to irrigate it? Why not harvest hay?
Thats what we've done. The family farm went under several years ago and we've recently in the past few years turned the 11 acres right around our house into a solid field of Tifton-85. Made about $10k in profit last year from it. Not bad for a side project.
Or, you could make it into a graveyard. My family knows a guy who is in the "graveyard business" and he claims that you can fit 1,100 bodies in one acre...
1 acre of land...
1,100 bodies...
$10k per plot...
$11,000,000????
Did I do that math right? Im horrible at it.
