Why can't you grow vegetables on it? Vegetables are grown
commercially on many kinds of soil under many kinds of conditions. There
are pros and cons to the relationship of certain vegetables to certain soil
types. But generally, soil type shouldn't dictate whether you can grow
vegetables or not, just how you do it.
$41,000 on 5 acres of land means you need to net over $8000
per acre. While it can be done, that is a stiff challenge for someone who isn't
long on experience. Like a previous writer said, start small and work your way
up. And stay within your means.
