## Resource

Salanova is the most common lettuce crop in market gardening. But how many growers actually know their profit margin on it? Most are guessing. This episode breaks down the real economics using production data from Ray Tyler's book The Farmer's Guide to Growing Organic Lettuce — numbers from a working farm in Tennessee, not theory. The scenario: 100-foot bed, 30 inches wide, landscape fabric, 4×6 inch spacing, labor at $25/hr. Watch the video on our YouTube Channel! Interested in watching the series?
