I don't know what regions you're referring to, but my family gets $75/acre rent on their land when their lessees plant alfalfa and $300/arce when they plant potatoes. In the Central Valley, they can grow even better crops than potatoes.

Field remain alfalfa for many years at a time. More cuttings then in other parts of the country also.
