Also one can have crop types that are pretty valuable...cough spices, coca leaves, French vineyards.I'm presently running an Eberron campaign that has largely centered around eastern Breland near the Mournland - a place hit recently by a terrible magical cataclysm.  I decided that farmland in eastern Breland was arid and marginal (cf Oklahoma dust bowl) even before horrible blights and diseases started coming out of the ruined lands.  People there are desperate.  Contrast Aundaire - another country far from the site of magical contamination. Also, lush, green and populated by lots of individuals possessing useful magical skills. Farmers there are quite well off, considering that problems elsewhere in the world have created an increased demand for food.This seems pretty setting-specific.</blockquote>
