  1. Re:They are also hiring a Farmer by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is actually part of the lease they signed - the land must be farmed, not allowed to "just rot unused". McGregor county required it to be farmed.

    Funnily the farmer they are seeking is required to be very flexible, effectively doing all the farming at night... because rocket testing comes first and farming work on those fields SpaceX now leases can only be done when no rocket testing is ongoing :)
