if acquire 30 acres tillable, hmmm

A few options if acquire property with 30 acres tillable.

End game would be to get it Certified Organic.

Rent out ground to interested neighbor to farm for the first few years.
Put it into CRP for a few years?
Farm it myself for a few years following practices to get it certified organic?

Just curious what peoples thoughts are. Reason being is I would not be living on or near that property, would be about an hour and 15 minute drive.
But I would be happy with the property being it is a good mix of woods and crop.

As I hear is a good idea to have a mix that brings some sort of income to ease the tax and monthly mortgage payment, even if not farming it yourself out of the gate, but eventually.

Surely others have acquired some small tracts a bit of a drive away, and have some wisdom about what they learned was the best way to handle them the first few years.
