You could plant a big garden and can and freeze your produce, raise a few chickens, hogs and fat cattle. You'll eat pretty well but you won`t have much of any money to spend. You could maybe put it in CRP and pocket around $2 thousand dollars before taxes Or you could grow 30 acres of corn, wheat, beans or hay, but you are just as apt to lose money as you are to make money.
