I found it--or, rather, someone found it for me! In case anyone is
interested, here is the list :

1) Raise only high value crops.

2) Farm as close to your markets as possible.

3) Capture the lucrative early and late markets.

4) Weatherproof your farm as much as possible.

5) Farm the best land you can.

6) Have realistic goals and expectations.

7) Know what you're getting into.

8) Don't be afraid of lots of hard work.

9) Have enough money to do it right and make it work.

10) Don't get too big too quickly.

11) Concentrate on freshness and quality.

12) Watch the markets and catch the highest prices.
