Irrigation is the biggest issue, I think. Hemp is a water hog, and it is usually grown in bottom ground for that reason. Unfortunately for Kentucky farmers, 2018 was a very wet year and yields were down. My goal is to make anough money the first year to build a well. 40 acres at $20k per acre would buy a lot of tomatoes.
