I have 16 acres, how can I make money?

Question

I have almost 16 acres of land that is mostly hillside and mostly wooded.  I wonder if there's a way to use the land to make money legally.  I'm not going to grow pot or anything like that.  I don't think there are enough trees to timber it.  It's 1 mile from a main road and I don't know that there would be any need to put a cell tower there.  I don't know how to go about finding out that information either.  We bought the land with the intention of building a house and moving there but that hasn't worked out.  We tried to sell the land but it didn't sell.  I'm debating whether to try selling again or to keep it.  Any suggestions for a legal way to use the land to make money?

Open it to hunters charging by the day.
The cell tower will cost you a fortune in obtaining zoning variance, running electricity to the site and posting a bond with the town
Open a paint ball site.

The key word in Farming is diversify. Planting row crops is NOT profitable because of the competition. If you plant some fruit trees, or fig trees on 1/2 acre and construct a hot house on another 1/2 acre, this will give you some diversified crops. Since you can grow flowers in a greenhouse, and tomatoes year round, you will have steady income. Do not invest heavily in Tractors, etc. Get a small 16 HP. with a tiller and add attachments as you go. Why would you work 12 hours each day for the bank? Think small, Think Organic and think Aquaponic or hydroponic farming because can triple your yield by growing Vertical. If you are going to farm, time to use your mind, not break your back! Do Not do what everyone else is doing, that s foolish! Find a need and Fill it!
