I have a cousin who is a farmer in the US and also has to have a second job. He probably has millions invested in machinery, but last time I talked to him about it he said for the cost of the equipment to really make sense he needs more land to farm. Right now he has unused capacity.

Has he looked into switching over to growing Starfruit or Ancient Fruit? Wines and jams can also increase income.
