- High Profit Crops That EVERY Farmer Needs To Know To Become A Millionaire!
Welcome back to Down On The Farm, today on the channel we are going to check out the High profit crops to become a farming millionaire. Have a guess - what do you think are the most profitable crops for small farms to grow? If you’re short of space or time input, you should look toward high value crops to maximise the output of your small farm production. In this video we’ll take a look at some basic questions you should first consider and then guide you through a list of the most profitable crops to grow.
Mushrooms. When you think of small scale farm ideas, mushrooms probably aren’t one of the first things that come to your mind as the best cash crops you can grow. But growing mushrooms can be surprisingly profitable. Mushrooms are an excellent crop for urban farmers or anyone who doesn’t have much extra space to work with. They are most often grown indoors and produce an extremely high return per square foot. Oyster mushrooms can produce up to 25 pounds per square foot. And best of all, they can be grown vertically in large hanging bags to maximize the space that you’ve got available. Mushrooms don’t last long after being picked and are difficult to ship across the country, so local growers have an advantage over larger commercial operations. Lavender. We recently wanted to purchase some lavender for a baking recipe and went to shops all over our city looking for it without any success. We don’t know if this indicates that the market for lavender is underserved, or if there simply isn’t a demand for it. But either way, growing the herb might be one of your most profitable farming options. Lavender is an extremely versatile crop. Its flowers can be sold fresh or dried to florists. The dried flowers can also be made into floral arrangements or wreaths, or sold directly to crafters or craft supply shops. Selling dried bouquets of lavender is the easiest way to go. It requires a minimal investment into equipment, labor, or time. Finish this video for more High profit crops to become a farming millionaire.

@@Hewhomustnotbenamed-rz7kc Lists are great, but there is good information that you will miss if you won’t use your time to listen straight through. They’re both good. It’s tempting only if your reason for listening is shallow … 👍👍 ❤️❤️❤️ The comments are always rich with additional info! 👍👍
@littlebrookreader949 😆 you provided the answer to the question. I did not have no further questions. Therefore thank you.
As a mushrooms farmer, I can say that I’m not rich. Most of your mushroom footage is from forest foraged mushrooms that actually aren’t able to be grown at all. They depend on tree and fungi to work together. This is why we need healthy forests. All the best. 🍄
Found a porcini's in my front yard last year. left it alone hoping it will spread more spores. Have or had Shiitake's in my backyard from spraying the last 3 mil of a syringe. Think the deer ate them too soon or some other wildlife. haven't produced or seen any in a couple years.
Thinking about trying the "Growing mushrooms on untreated sawdust pellets" from Glenn Coville. Or just get syringes of spores then turn them into 5 gal buckets and dump all over my property. Have a spring in my backyard so humidity lv's can be great. have failed several times trying indoor or controlled environment. Did some agar and uncle bens pre cooked long grain. couple years ago. with a few edible strains.
It crazy to think they use Mycorrhizal fungi in large hydro or aqua ponics in large commercial grows.
what is your mushroom set up like and is it at least 6 figures a year? There is a family that grows noting but strawberries, mushroom and a few dairy goats and they claim to profit 500k a year. Top 3% right there, and thats pretty nice.
As a fellow mycologist I do my part spreading spent substrates and the odd bag of inoculated alder chips! It's so rewarding to return to the business parks year after year and see those beautiful little pins popping up!
I have a mushroom biz also. Not the most profitable if you’re just growing culinary stuff and have a small team:( I feed spent blocks to my chickens or mix em into my garden. Theres been talk of using oysters and myceliated blocks to help remediate the train derailment chemical spills… wish somehow that could be organized and govt funded but. Yano. In an ideal world. I think the next big thing will have to be myco-remediation. Trying to figure out how to grow and apply plastic-eating mushrooms atm. Take care friends

Being a saffron and lavender farmer can also get you in to perfume and soap products. Plus, your property will always smell great.
What about buchu?
Mushrooms $20/lbs depends on variety.
ginseng 6yrs to mature $200k per acre
lavender fresh or dried $10 a bunch
saffron most expensive herb, $2500k 1/4 acre of land to produce.
goji berries $20/lbs or $140k per harvest
bamboo renewable resources $25k or about 200 bamboo plants from an acre
the real hero. thanks
Nice to see some figures for these types of crops. Thank you Ed
Hemp?
North Central Wisconsin is the largest Ginseng growing area in the USA. 95% of which is exported to China - a testament to the their successes
So… you gotta have acreage! That’s the missing piece for 98% of us.
NOT clickbait, this magic will make every farmer a millionaire.
Maybe there needs to be a law against the claims of science, religion and corporations.
You're amazing.
Vanilla, Wasabi, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Oud, Agarwood and certain flowers made for essential oils
If you could grow coffee trees anywhere you would be billionaire 😂
My thoughts too... plus weed lol
All of these have extremely specific required growing conditions, which is why they are expensive
@@tannerebeling1056 not to mention laborious
@@jenniferhouse1939 especially vanilla, which need to be hand-pollinated outside its native range.
"Clicks" can be farmed all year long in any weather as long as there's a net connect.
Nice!
Cuttings from mature Goji berry plants will fruit the first year. It's only plants from seeds that need 3 years for fruiting. Most commercial goji berries are from cuttings, for that reason.
They're pretty easy to get a big crop out of. The problem is they taste like butt, and nobody actually wants them.
When farming anything, keep this in mind. You will always work, jo days off. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
You gotta love the work.
It's the balance between supply and demand that pushes the price up. If every farmer grows a particular crop, it's not rare anymore and the price will go down
also the amount of work to get a gram is alot!
In theory but we have never had a natural market. Corporations have been manufacturing demand and manipulating supply as long as we’ve been alive.
@@alisonaicard Diamonds yes, but you still need idiots willing to pay that for a horrible piece of looking glass!
Exactly
Mushroom powders are popular for health. So drying them is a good plan . They're allso a good prepping item since they remain usable dried for a long time.
Only the hallucinogenic maybe
I used to grow and sell mushrooms $10/g . Best eaten in a positive energy atmosphere.
Me too. The old P. F. Method. lol
You mean 10$/kg right?
@@JamecBond he means psychoactive mushrooms
Enlightening 😉
@@toomanymarys7355 Now legal in Oregon.
Im pretty happy with my acre of bongo chilli. Excellent cash crop. Here in the tropics a bush lives 6 years easy. Pumping out the chilli.
Saffron is definitely the world's most expensive crop! I'm in Mexico and a 20 gram sized plastic packet costs around 280 pesos, that's around 14 usd for 20 grams of azafran, what saffron is called in spanish. Just a small finger's worth pinch of little red fibers 280 pesos worth!😅👍
The nice thing about lavender is that it doesn't have to be replanted.
It sounds as though three years is the typical turn around for these crops. Not bad as long as you have patience.
What about the other valuable crops. I bet a crown of broccoli would sell well if food was scarce. Don't forget about the main foods we eat every day
And you want to make sure that you're not harvesting the lavender when the bees are out and about cause they sure love those flowers. I only have one on my balcony and can't go out there when the plant is flowering 🤣
I started a very small lavender farm and my oldest plants are now dying at six years old. But they ended up getting large enough to where they actually created a hedge. As for bees, if you’re careful and move slowly, they won’t bother you
Potatoes can sell for 25¢ each. Start there. Good luck! 🤞
@@sappir26 my bees thank you!
According to George Carlin, Hansel and Gretel discovered the gingerbread house abount 45 minutes after discovering the mushrooms!
😅😅😂Mr. Carlin…. Soooooooo super funny and woke on so many things! ❤🌎⚖️.
Arugula blossoms are very good on return of investment for price per pound. We had a crop of arugula bolt, and it was before we found out the price per ounce would have made it worth our time selling it at the local farmer's market.
Hey there I was curious where abouts are you growing them at ? We were interested out here in California
@@559wonder we're located in Reno NV. Arugula now grows in our yard like a weed. The chickens love it.
I love arugula and it's great to hear I'm not the only one! 😄
what do people do with arugula flowers?
@@kishidabu, supposedly it has a peppery taste and is used as garnish on plates at high end restaurants and in salads.
Back in 1978 I had the same idea, so I ordered some Autumn Crocus bulbs and planted them, so, a Year later when they bloomed, I found-out why Saffron is so expensive.The labor cost would be extreme. I had my supply of Saffron, though.
Lol bingo 👏👏
Yep farming is hard labor intensive work
Saffron is worse.
Iran sells that
He said it "May" be a profitable crop to grow. Not sure why it even made the list
This a great video for Farming Info.
And the people sharing with their comments with even more Farming Ideas is fantastic for the would be Famer. 🤗
those goji berries grow like crazy... I was renting a house in Calgary and the landlord had planted some when he was living there... after a few years they took over the whole south side of the house and spread into the lawn. I had to mow the lawn based on how fast the goji plants were growing because those little stalks came up faster than the grass... reminded me of out of control raspberry bushes. they were relentless once they rooted in.
So how much was your cut of the profit?
The difference between goji berries and raspberries is that we'd actually want to eat the raspberries.
@@danwipper juice the goji berries in a "masticating" juicer, very healthy to drink daily
I have never understood why bamboo isn't more common in the United States. You would think that we could always find a use for a cheap renewable resource that can create both materials for building and edible food.
your genius is astounding.
in no way would the sale price of anything be effected by a massive influx of product.
You left out Hemp which is crazy because it has over half a million industrial uses
Highly regulated and varying degrees of legality in most states. Hemp is high risk because it MUST comply with the 0.3% THC limitation and if your crop exceeds that by a fraction of a percent, the entire crop will be destroyed. Also, check-out the 2024 Farm Bill. It comes down hard on hemp and some are saying it could destroy the entire industry. I would not recommend it as a cash crop for someone looking for something new to get into.
I think this video serves as an introduction into some of the more lucrative crops, but it’s clearly not stating that it is easy to do or maintain…these are for experienced farmers or people who truly want to take on these projects. Not sure why some people are calling this click bait…you need to do the real research regardless of what the video says which is very general information anyway
I started growing Lychees here in Florida when I saw how delicious and expensive they were $12-25 a pound. A mature tree can produce ~25 lbs. per year.
At first I thought you said leeches. Oops. What are Lychees and how do they taste?
@@beebob1279 They are a Tropical fruit in the same family as Longans and Rambutans? Got it. LOL They are small Golfball sized, weird looking Red fruits that have a hard shell and 1 large pit inside. They are extremely sweet with the texture similar to a Grape. They don't like Frost, so if you live in an area where it gets Frost you'll have to grow them in a large container in full sun.
@@6519-e5x I'm in St. Lucie county and they grow great here in our yard. A commercial grower is located about an hour South of us. Not sure about if there are any others.
@@Automedon2 That's my PERSONAL tree output. Commercial trees are much bigger than the 5 year old trees I have. My trees are pruned so I can harvest STANDING ON THE GROUND. Commercials use a man-lift to harvest them 30-100' Tall mature size
My favorite fruit! Omg I’m gonna grow them now that I moved to Florida
It was fun to watch and educational. Thank you and God bless your harvest.
Like every other get-rich-quick BS, there's a lot more complication to each of these than presented here, and a ton more labor. I actually do some of these to earn money and I know. Not very many people are willing to put in the labor, especially the stoop labor, that is required, and precious few are going to get rich. My advice is don't give up your day job just yet; this video is just so much clickbait.
Real facts
In a famine economy only proteins and carbohydrates are marketable. But the super wealthy can pay for anything they want.
So true
Same goes for almost every industry or technology
Can you elaborate and give us some farming advice based off some of these crops? It’s an interesting industry to me. But like any industry you must master it if you want the big bread ofc and that takes many years
It's overkill to deal with a commercial per MINUTE!
That and I'm running out of internet on my phone 😅
Yep, I won't sub to a channel that goes overboard on the ads like this.
You Tube is trying to get people to buy their service (commercial free)…eventually, it will be a subscription to YT. Very annoying
They must have read your comments.
I just now watched the 10 min clip with only 1 ad.
I guess comments DO get read.
😉
@@theresaalexander4142 well I guess it depends on when you are...
A HUGE part of this is the marketing of the products and actually making the sales required to reach these numbers. Harvest time is another thing to consider and take into account. Regardless these are great ideas.
yeah and in an incorporated/fascist nation, small business farmers are screwed.
@@MatthewHensley8304 corpoately run yes. Facist no. save the hate lo$er.
What is a fascist nation?
One where ppl scream at u if u don’t agree with them
@@YouOnlyGet1Shot 🤣👍
Their is a type of bamboo called clumping bamboo that doesn't run havoc on your garden. It stays in one place. The kind that goes all over is the running type.
saffron doesn't need dry places there the one that Europe used to have and thought to be lost and uk used to be the main provider of this climatized saffron, a farmer found surviving saffron on his land and started propagate them few years back. If i remember correctly.
Where to buy they seeds?
@@LuisC7 crocus is a bulb. You can grow crocus all the way up into zone 5 maybe 4. They're as common and easy as daffodils to grow.
@@heatherthomas7545 oh wow. Then why are they not farmed much??? If they survive those zones
@@LuisC7 because harvesting the stigmas is VERY labor intensive. Not physically hard but you’d need several people to harvest the styles/stigmas/threads
@@heatherthomas7545 do they over ripen or go bad? What is the harvesting window?
Honey berries are every bit the power food as goji berries and grow well in a northern climate.
Where can I find seeds for honey berries
Could you tell me more about honey berries
@@pamelaschneider6570 found naturally in Siberia and Hokkaido Japan, they blossom and fruit in springtime. You need both male and female plants to pollinate. There are many varieties and usually available at nurseries. The berries grow in little clusters under the leaves and have a distinct flavor like blueberries. They freeze well so I keep them for smoothies and oatmeal year round.
love how this is narrated, and probably written by, a very, very urban person
Can't believe nobody mentioned magic Beans. You can buy a whole cow for a handful. And the stalks are gigantic. LOL
The only downside is the occasional attacks from some random giant.
@@greghooper4235 True. but if you can get ahold of the golden goose, your set for life. lol
What about opium poppys? I hear those do well
What you can grow depends greatly on were you live and the soil / water you have. Few understand that.
Yep
Now might be a good time to plant saffron since most of it is grown in Afghanistan, which might make it more difficult to obtain or expensive in the future. If you want to grow gogi berries, you can literally plant the seeds from the dried ones from the grocery store, and almost every single seed will sprout. There's videos of people doing this on UA-cam, one lady planted a huge amount of seeds not realizing how fertile they were and made a video of her entire apartment covered in potted gogi berry plants, they were on every surface. In some US states, there's another "High" profit crop people can grow. Marijuana! It's actually easy to grow, as long as it doesn't get infested with a few specific insects or molds.
I have quite a few bulbs growing this year and 50 more on the way. I am so excited!
Haha🤣,plant marijuana in Uganda police and military will be on hunt for you.
@@tracycrider7778 where are u getting the roots from ?? I've been looking for a source forever can u please message me back I would appreciate it thanks
As a 17 yr grower from california, growing cannabis is not easy. It's also not profitable anymore.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Growing Cannabis is not easy at all. You just told all of us that grow that you have never grown it and regurgitate headlines like you know something. You assume a high profit because all you have done is buy it.
There's a bunch of very profitable crops, many of which are difficult to grow. At least a few more could have made it to this list.
Vanilla is a prime example. Orchids are hard.
Vanilla is likely related to orchid.. the flowers are nearly identical in structure,
@@72marshflower15 Vanilla is an orchid yes.
The only way to make them competitive is to somehow import their natural pollinator bees from Mexico and make them acclimate to the new environment. Hand pollination is simply cost prohibitive unless you have cheap labor at hand.
I think haskap/honeyberry could be an upcoming star. More nutritious than gogi berries and they actually taste good. They look like giant blueberries but they are not fussy with the soil requirements
They've been brought into Australia finally. Just waiting for them to be released to the market ❤️

Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life)
1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree.
Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it.
2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water.
3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom.
The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller.
4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case.
5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth.
6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity.
7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants.
This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname!
In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time.
Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors.
Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants.
There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living.
-This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries.
- This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially.
- This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation.
There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it.
Be a part of the change.
Not a part of the problem through government.
We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!
Very intriguing Lars, thanks
@@blindman6022 I have a collection of videos that may clarify different aspects of this concept.

6:30 HAHAHAHAH! In my experience the opposite is true. I have tried repeatedly to grow various types of berry bushes, and most have died or barely survived, with stunted growth from here on out. I haven't tried goji yet though. So far, I have tried service berries, currants, and blue berries, as well as grapes. Grapes have by far been the most successful, with the disclaimer that after 3 years, I am only now getting my first crop of them, which won't be ripe for another few months. I have gotten enthusiastic foliage growth, though. Despite the time it took to harvest, I'm planning on expanding my grapes plot.
Gotta go goose berries and goji
I have a nice patch of bamboo , a guy at work gave me a bag full of roots about 15-16 yrs ago . I have since gave some bags of roots to friends to grow too. I love how the bamboo has filled in my woods along the yard ..but it will get greedy and grow into your yard. But just kick over the new sprouts in the springtime
The fresh young shoots as they are emerging are also edible and delicious. They are also quite valuable and sell for quite a bit per pound.
Money matters most! 😉
Can't believe grew up playing with these here in Africa.
Not sure how I can connect to the markets which need these
Get in touch with Formula Botanica and Melinda Coss. They have huge networks of entrepreneurs who would want it.
Almost every one of these are extremely labor intensive to the point
if you are doing all of the labor yourself and figure in all of the labor hours
it takes to go from planting to harvest the amount you’re making per hour
is minimal compared to planting regular crops that are nowhere near as
labor intensive…
And if you are going to hire either help or farm the labor out completely,
by the time you pay out that expense you’re left with very little profit again
compared to other crops…!
Now, if your time is worth nothing to you or you don’t really care about making
any profit after paying expenses then this is great for you…
Hemp has the Enablements to Kreate a plastic that is 10 times stronger than U.S. Steel, and kan make soft cloth & other clothes, and makes a full range of textures in between. So every type of structure in a City kan be made with Hemp, and many, many, many other things, even Foods, Medicines and Pleasure Herbs!!!
You're A Hemp Zealot!!! Is your hoodie made from hemp? Quit sucking your thumb.
When I was in Amsterdam, I went to a clothing store. I seen some blue jeans, the price was like $200. I asked the woman why so expensive? She smiled, she said, these will last you 20 years! She said my cotton jeans Levis would have fallen a part by then!
In Michigan growing ginseng is somewhat regulated. Wild ginseng used to be quite common but has been overharvested heavily and is now fairly rare. It's a threatened species nationally so collecting wild ginseng is illegal. I believe to sell ginseng you'll need a state certification, at least in Michigan. Growing cultivated ginseng in a wild setting can be problematic check your states regulations. Ginseng requires a long growth period to mature, hence 6+ years. Actually the older it gets the more potent and valuable it becomes. Wild ginseng is worth much more because it's more potent than cultivated. Also if you grow outside you may have a problem with people poaching your plants.
Wild Ginseng season and harvesting still happens every year here in West Virginia. Pretty sure it's most of the Appalachians though.
Thanks Calvin great information 👍
Of course everything must b regulated.. that way they get their part of your hard work.. while i agree the over harvesting isn't good.
Not only us bipeds ... Most critters seem to love this root ...
I sell my ginseng to Chinese herbalists in Chicago. I grow in Michigan and sell in Illinois. They still haven’t thrown me in jail.
Bamboo: Great for the environment; also an “invasive species” so not so good for the environment…. I like the idea of growing mushrooms & lavender though.
Many fire departments in the West mandate home owners remove bamboo.
@@martingardens whys that?
@@jondoe292 The litter from bamboo is highly flammable and bamboo makes a good fire ladder.

Good luck farming saffron unless you live in the tropics
Yeah that's why the best saffran is grown in south Morocco!! Sahara region !! I' was there last year !!
The best quality saffron comes from Iran, & it's all over eBay for $20 for 4.5 gram.
Back in the 1970s we used to grow crocus like any other bulb flower, not knowing that's where saffron came from.
I believe it is the fall or winter crocus that produces saffron. And getting it out seems to be a little difficult.
Culinary saffron is different than some other versions.
That's what SHE said.
The crocus that bloom in spring are just a flower. It is a very specific variety of fall blooming crocus that produces saffron.
Opium poppies and coca plants are great money makers 😉
Moringa!
Where do you sell it though?
While this video is great I think the estimates for GROSS revenue are a bit optimistic. Your market price is dependent on what the local market will bear if selling retail/direct to consumer, or the commodity price if selling wholesale. Also consider at least 50% expenses so net profit is half or less of gross revenue, and this isnt taking into account land cost (rent or buy). Cannabis was another obvious one but its not legal everywhere, but since legalization profit per acre has gone down significantly.
Truth!
I still don't know why people who grow cannabis don't go for secondary markets. Use the stems that they discard. They would need to work together but cloth and/or paper.
@@simonesmit6708 Not enough fiber or demand.
There is certain mushrooms that sell for way more than 20 bucks a lb.
APE🍄
Is this the same crotus that will grow in Indiana during the spring?
When you said Saffron Mellow Yello Donovan popped into my head
You missed Durian trees.the fruit can cost 6 dollars per kilo and one tree can produce 300 kilo per year .you can plant 70 trees per acre that's a huge profit.I grow durian I have 10 acres.one issue it only grows in tropical places my farm is in Thailand
Just before the narrator said saffron, I thought he was going to say cannabis.
Totally overlook marijuana crops. Probably the most profit per acre than any other of the crops another high return crop is hops
Great video! 💚🎸
Where do I find buyers for any of these crops? Where can I find start-up seed?
Other crops people should consider if their temps allow.
Persimmons
Dragon Fruit
Lychee
Logans
Mangosteen
Black Mission Figs
Macadamia nuts
Custard Apple or Sweet Sop
Maybe get access to the wild variety and cultivate it in the woods .. ? Then your contributing to the natural eco system.
Wow saffron is amazing. Needs about 1 acre but how many slaves?
What do you do with a harvested suffron? How do you use it?
Well hopefully those working are getting paid and not being a slave
Great video. Thanks for the info!
Zafran (Saffron) is real Gold
Farmers feel neglected these days.
"Mushrooms can go for up to 20 dollars a pound"... I've paid 20 bucks for 4 grams before...
Around here we just sneak into farmers cow fields and hope for the best. If you get lucky you call your friends. 🤓🍻

😉😁😊
They have legalized or decriminalized those kinds of mushrooms in US cities in many states, in the last few years. So it might be a possible legal cash crop, if you live in one of those cities.
@@adriennefloreen I dont think "legalized", just decriminalized, which means you can still get busted for selling mushrooms... I'm no legal expert, but I wouldnt set up my shroom farm just yet...lol.
Hmmm vanilla the world second most expensive spice-- definitely think that should have made the list!!!
It seems silly to me that people talk about how the price per gram of a crop. What they should be talking about is yield per acre or revenue per acre or profit per acre. It doesn't matter if a crop is a million dollars per gram if you can't harvest a gram in a hectare.
My man Ross is a watermelon farmer and he’s a millionaire. lol
Mushroom ginseng lavender saffron and goji berries
Can you freeze dry mushrooms, saffron and all the other plants?
Honestly, Cannabis deserves the #1 spot on this list
Some mushrooms sell for way more than $20/lb! And they're being gradually decriminalized...

I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.
Due to the variety of my employment, I don't have a certain fund that I invest in. I don't act at all like that. I imitate the behaviour of seasoned financial counsellor Kimberly Jean Heavner , who holds a US Securities and Exchange Commission license (SEC). Since then, in contrast to the IRA's slow growth, my returns have increased quickly. What I possess only appears in her trades, not in a small number of specialized firms.
@@marcelrobert9569 That's incredible! If she has A-list skills and is this skilled, I'd like to speak with her. I also clone trades using a MAM account, yet my overall loss is 20%. Where can I get her contact information?
@Lucas Williams Haha, exxon makes cake with lemons.
There's an error in your stats - US agriculture contributes $164.7 billion every year to GDP. You had million in the video.
Saffron is extremely labour intensive. Plants do not flower after a couple of years. This is for dreamers or third world countries with cheap labour.
High profit crop to become a millionaire.. cannabis... oh wait u need to be a millionaire to start. Dosent matter if u have the land/resources/time/ knowledge.. you must past the pay wall first.. good ol American government... pay first, reap later.
Very nice video good job thanks
In general you can say that spice gives good money.
I know some other mushrooms that go for a lot more that $20/lb...
Certain varieties of truffles would be an excellent cash crop if someone could figure out exactly what is required to grow them. 🤔🤓🍻
@@alsaunders7805 in France they grow truffle...
I'm not sure if the commenter was talking about truffles. Some previously illegal mushrooms have recently been legalized in US cities in many states.
200 000$… over 6 years per acre, with all the massive infrastructure… yea I think I will keep my tech job after all
farmers who have watched this are still laughing!
All the way to the bank
Grow peppers, at the market it's like 15 dollars a pound and they grow fast.
i'm sorry but Cannabis i think would be the #1 and you don't need a ton of land to grow it. how big is the saffron market vs. how big is the Cannabis market. and it can be grown at a turnover rate close to those mushrooms.
Most commercial farmers turn over is in excess of a million dollars already. It only take a single failed crop, to loose a million dollars or everything also.
saffron needs alot of space to grow and labor to manual labor to get it from flower
Which of these grow in SWFL?
I know there are buyers for all of the items featured except one -- I don't know who the buyers are for bamboo
I imagine there are wood pulp buyers for things like bamboo clothing and bamboo linen, bamboo shoots are a common kngredient in Asian food. I'm sure there is more.
It makes good fishing poles, cutting boards, anything laminated, nowadays they're using the fibers for all kinds of stupid stuff. 🤓🍻
Building materials manufacturers, for one. Bamboo is being used to make things like flooring now, because it's so strong and fast-growing. You could also sell it to craftspeople who can make things like trellises out of it. The uses for bamboo are pretty endless - we're getting some this year, and I can see myself using it to build fences and maybe even animal shelters with it because it's so strong and beautifully straight :)
