Some areas are not capable of growing whatever you would like. Huge areas of the United States don't get enough water to support most kinds of farming. In northern Montana for example, the average land required for each cow/calf pair is 40 acres. If you had 80 acres there and could scrounge up enough water you could rent some equipment for a few days each year and grow alfalfa.
