An Agriculture Question?

What are some good, profitable crops that can be grown between 35-70 degrees Fahrenheit with about 20 inches of rain during the Dry Season and during the Wet Season around 60-80 inches of rain during the wet season? Just wondering..



The conditions you list allow almost any crop that the soil will support. But it helps to have good expertise in growing and marketing it too.





60 to 80 inches is a lot of water to use up with a maximum temperature of 70F, so attention to drainage may be needed if 80 inches falls over a short period. It may be useful to pump water off into storage for year round use.




That is 80 to 100 inches of water a year which is enough to grow a rain forest. I am not sure where you are but the temperature range seems low for that kind of rainfall and is probably your limiting factor.




Sounds like your on the west coast of Washington and Oregon. For that temperature range, Strawberry, Cabbage. Watch out for soil pests. That much water bet you have some good ones.
