About thirty years ago when I lived out in Spokane WA. a friend of mine tried that. This is what I rember about it. He plowed and worked it up and laid out the plots. The renter planted what they wanted and were responsibe to keep it cultivated. Some people did a good job and took care of their plot. Others came out and planted theirs and never showed up to keep it weeded and when they came back to "harvest" could not understand why so many weeds and not much good stuff. It was a short term venture and although he had some good renters that took care of their plots there were just too many that did not. It was not profitable for him. I am not saying it will not work, just did not in his case. You will have to have rules about spraying and such so as they understand even though it is their plot they can not do anything on it that would affect the next door plot. A lot of thought will have to go into when they can come and go when the last of it has to be picked and such. When You figured how many plots you can have did you allow for access trails and is the land around there such that people can drive into their plot. I doubt many city folk are going to walk a quarte of mile or so to their plot. I am country and I know I wont. I think the expense of drives and such on an eighty acre field would take a lot of land out of the picture, I would not try it on eighty acres, the first season anyway. I have my doubts but if you think you can work out all the details and go for it I wish you well, and hope your efforts prove me wrong. If you try and it doesn't work you can know you gave it a shot and getting into the later part of life that is worth something.
