Anything that requires a change in direction from past farming techniques will require some further investment. That's the nature of farming in this day and age. Farming on an extremely low budget nets low return. It's less risk to stand at a drive up window and hand out fries, and just about as financially rewarding. If you have the cash, and you aren't rushed to make a return on investment, there are opportunities, but again, they require a plan. You might try contacting local Ag extension office for their LOCALIZED info and input. They know what's hot in your immediate area.
Unless you have ample cash to bankroll the operation, I'm in the "lease it out to someone else" camp. Otherwise, prepare yourself for VERY long hours that net little more than a sense of satisfaction (if that happens...)
My personal observation has been, farming is only successful if it is your passion and only if you have a long term plan/goal. A workable long term plan doesn't materialize over night. Look at a short term lease with someone else, then leave yourself the opportunity to create a plan of your own. Find a successful farmer to lease the ground, and work with him. Watch, listen and learn. Just my opinion...based on what I've read in your comment.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
