One of the barriers to building an agriculture industry is that farmers - most of whom operate on relatively short-term leases - have little incentive to invest heavily in equipment, supplies or other infrastructure. As a consequence, thousands of acres are fallow.

You just can't grow cucumbers on $95,000-an-acre land.
