New York is making a push on industrial hemp. They are setting up to extract medicinal compounds to compete with medicinal marijuana. They brought in 50,000 lbs of seed to get some acres planted. My neighbor set out 10 A's of chestnuts. If they take off, we have lots & lots of $1000/A land with soils that can grow 160 bushel corn but are too steep to farm. If that gets going I can easily see that taking up some of this abandon dairy farmland.
The way I look at it, so what that you're not farming 2000 acres it's the bottom line that counts. If you can make a good living from 40 A's or 100 A's growing tree fruits or medicinals what's the difference.
