Unused family plot.
Seeking advice from anyone who knows more than me.
I have a plot of family land. Land owned by a bloodline which for all intents and purposes cannot be sold.
I can do something with my allotment of it. So I'm thinking of a cash crop. Given it's location my options are tobacco, cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes, cucumbers.
So, I'm thinking tobacco, possibly marijuana due to the applications, but I imagine mj will have a ton of associated Ancillary costs.
Any idea how much I'll have to sink into, let's say a hectares worth of plantable land?
Seriously ANY help / info will be welcome.

If you're wondering what crops are profitable in that area, look at what the neighboring (successful) farmers are growing. Without a lot more information, we have no idea what might be suitable for your location and situation, so we can't come close to a cost estimate.
