Get your garden tools ready for the easiest cash crops to grow!
If you paid attention in history class, you might recognize the term cash crop. I wasn’t really aware that it was something still used, but when I think about it, it makes sense because there are certain crops that yield cash. It’s not rocket science. I think people involved in farming are really admirable considering I hate going outside. I also don’t like bugs, so nature and I don’t really get along well. I like benefiting from those who like it, though. As someone who pretty much exclusively eats bread, I really need the wheat farmers producing the crop so I can eat toast all day in bed.

However, it must again be noted that the easiest crops to grow are the ones that suit your location and the climate. It’s also important to know what type of soil is natural in your region. Some crops just don’t do well in certain areas. That being said, this list is based on some averages.
