cash crop
The idea of a "cash crop" is that it is converted to cash, i.e., sold.
Spreading over the soil with animal manure, which replaces nutrients and adds humus and texture to the soil. Allowing some ground to lay fallow for a season, which also prevents top soil blowing away. Growing a crop of clover, peas, field beans, etc, that is ploughed into the ground and is known as green manuring. All of which subsistence farmers would be unable to do.
