Look into grain complex. 

Grain complex is a stable area in the agriculture industry. It is also lucrative for most of the year. The market for corn, soybeans, oats, and wheats around the world is large and hungry, consuming grain on a regular basis. 

Look into coffee and sugar. 

Coffee is in the top five commodities in the world, while sugar is a mammoth product sold and used almost everywhere. They are both stable and lucrative, quite like grain. The only difference is that in many places of the world, coffee and sugar are seen as luxuries. 

Learn how to take care of livestock.
