3. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a proof that you don’t have to grow something exotic to have a good profit. While a lot of suggestions on our list of 10 best cash crops with the highest profit per acre involve exotic plants, tomatoes are “ordinary” profitable crops which anyone can plant. According to New Leaf records, profit per acre in 2002 was $45,000 and in 2003 it was $27,000. This data clearly shows that it is very hard to determine the exact profit per acre since it changes every year. Western Farm Press published a very interesting article about a phenomenon in California in 2009 when yields per acre were as high as 75-80 tons. It was a truly amazing year for harvest. Prices vary but are usually $2-$3 per pound.
