Side hustle implies you have another full time job. Farming at any sort of scale larger than your back garden is a full-time job.

I find that the farmer you are leasing the land too is likely to short you on your share of the crops and is not worth the hassle on 15 acres. Maybe grandpa just lives next to criminal farmers. (Likely). Also the farmers I know are getting drunk all the time or eating lunch complaining about liberals so I am not sure farming 15 acres is a full time job. I think farmers have conned us into thinking they are hard working. Can you get a government grant to not grow corn anymore? I would do that.

industrial farming for row crop isn't hard work other than a couple times a year, but that is pretty different from CSA type stuff
