Solar and farming in the dry tropics are a good combination: when no sun, not much water needed. No expensive batteries, at most a water tower.

WE put in a new circle pivot last here in Eastern Washington at a cost of 127.000$ , covering 127 acers . Our last circle lasted 40 years [ at a cost of aprox. 30,00$ ] , we get 4 cuttings a year of alfalfa hay . [Today hay is selling for aprox. 180 $ a ton ] . [Was selling a couple years ago for 300$ a ton ] Think about growing sweet corn & selling directly to customers . Kallstrom Sweet Corn , Ephrata , Washington . U.S.A.

The water has to last thats the key. Near me a cattle feedlot went in using 500 megalitres a year and has sucked the neighbours bore dry so they have to go down another stream maybe 200 metres deep costing a fortune and they cant do a thing about it.

A lot of acreage, did you try running a metal detector behind your farm equipment to map out potential gold finds?

Rhodes grass is pretty good for dry and saline conditions, you should test Buffel grass too. Better hay quality and loves sandy soils and heat.

Not everyone can get money from the bank. Most of farming these days require large bank loans.

I bet those farmers still manage to make a loss and still expect Government handouts and tax breaks The other thing is how much will the farmers demand from the govt when their "Hay" is lost to fire!!!

If they don't make any net income, they won't pay income tax. However, they may be forclosed on. Secondly they have to wear insurance costs. It is a very risky business.
