    There’s a lot of farmers that are looking to not be farmers anymore. There’s also lots of land for lease.

      There’s a lot of farmers that are looking to not be farmers anymore.

      Because people demand all produce be in season all the time, be extremely fresh, cost next to nothing, be sustainably grown, be delivered to your door and be absolutely perfect looking.

      As a consequence, a farmer is lucky to make $25k per year on $250k in revenue.

        Farming has pretty much always been a way to spend millions to make thousands. Whether it’s meme produce or staple grains.

          It’s not quite that bad.

          On another note… I have no idea what “meme produce” is supposed to me.

            Micro greens, whatever the new super food is, various labels you can apply to sell lettuce for 5x the normal price.
