Seems to me that a farmer has three potential options with a piece of land:\nHe can grow a food crop.\nGrow a non-food crop that he can sell for cash e.g. tobacco or cotton (I think that's probably the distinction that the question is trying to make)\nUse his land for some other non-agricultural use e.g leave it fallow, build a theme park.\n\nSo the question is asking what the impact of growing too many of these non-food cash crops might be.\n\nI won't do your whole project for you, but these are the areas I think you should be visiting.\n\nEconomic impact\nWhat will happen when a lot of perhaps one particular cash crop is grown.\nSupply and demand suggests prices will fall\nMaybe balance of payments will improve if you can export\nMaybe foreign investment will come in to exploit the local availability.\nMaybe other industries will grow up to exploit the cash crop (think textiles or cigarettes).\nWhat will happen to the price of food though? Increase?\nWill you need to import more?\nIs famine a possibility?\nIf you are relying principally on one or two cash crops to generate income to spend on food imports what happens if the crop fails?\nThere are positive and negative impacts.\n\nEnvironmentally\nSo what happens if large areas of forest are removed to provide new fields for cash crops?\nWhat about the impact of large tracts of land given over to one crop.  We may be talking dust bowl here.\nWhat if the crop requires intensive farming methods - high use of fertiliser and pesticide.\n\nPolitically and socially\nWhat are the impacts of being a net importer of food?  Particularly if this means the difference between the nation starving or not.\nWhat about the extra cash coming in?  It could be spent on education, infrastructure.\nWhat happens to the Government the next election after a famine?\n\n5. Traditionally governments have used various methods:\nSubsidy: Give the farmer extra cash for producing certain crops.  Look up EEC common agricultural policy.\nTaxation: Tax the farmer for producing the crops you don't want.\nTrade barriers: Put import tariffs on the crops they want grown in the country.  Prices rise and more farmers are encouraged to grow the crops.\nQuota: Not so much in the western world, but certainly the case in the old Eastern Bloc - simply dictate to the farmer what he can grow.\n\nHope this helps

Is this agricultural land? It may mean crop yield. Rental return of 96% is not realistic.

Grass always looks better on the other side of the fence.  Glad you decided to stay in your yard.  The other side had alot of manure in it.

He could have caused a major accident there fidgety.\nReminds me of the young man who is trying out his new sports car on a quiet country lane.There's no traffic about so he risks taking it up to 70mph,then 80mph, and then 90.He turns a corner and sees two old farmers standing in the middle of the road chatting.The man wrenches the wheel sideways,the car shoots up an embankment,flies into the air,and crashes in the middle of an adjacent field.One of the farmers turns to the other and says" That was lucky.I reckon we got out of that field in the nick of time."

There's an awful lot of ground that is cultivated.

Buy a big bag of cress seed or similar and write WANKER in his front lawn with it. When he cuts the lawn the white stalks of the cress will show through, revealing what you have written. The best thing is that it keeps growing!

They roll it in different directions with a heavy roller. It looks like it's different colors becuase of the way the grass is bent.

Usually snow plows are out operating before the snow gets too deep so they've driven to work before it's too bad. In rare occasions, I know other plow drivers already working are sent to pick the guys up who can't get out on their own. \n\nThe better question is if after plowing snow for 16 hours, do you think the guy feels like clearing off the 2 feet of snow off his own car to go back home? ;)

Do you mean SERFS? They worked for the Lord of the Manor. Tilled his land several days a week, herded his animals, and whatever else needed doing around his manor.  It does not take place today - it's history.
