We all know that growing cash crops brings high returns, but let's not forget that the investment and risk is also relatively high. Take our local onions, for example: an acre of land costs about $3,000, yields can range from 5,000 pounds to more than 20,000 pounds per acre, and prices can fluctuate from a few cents to more than a dollar.

In terms of planting alone, agricultural products are currently in transition.
