He'll have grad students (aka slaves) to do lots of the work. He'll also
have money available that most small farmers will not have.
If you can grow $90K per acre per year, but it requires ten full-time
workers to do it, it will not be profitable.
Also, he has not actually accomplished that yet, as the article reveals if
you read it carefully.
