Yes and no. If you only want to grow a little to see what it looks like, it can be as simple as throwing out a little fertilizer and sticking some seeds in the ground. However, a commercial farmer looking to maximize profit from his farm has a great many things to evaluate. A partial list:
- Soil type(s)
- Existing fertility level in the soil
- Fertilizer formulation, cost, and method and timing of application
- Seed variety and supplier(s)
- Maintenance, upkeep, and operation cost of equipment such as tractor, planter, sprayer, and harvesting equipment
- All kinds of pests (weeds, insects, fungi, bacteria, birds, etc.) which could damage the crop and how and whether to control them
- Irrigation or natural precipitation
- Evaluation of whether another crop might be more profitable
and, of course, the list goes on.
