Well, prisoners are unskilled and keeping them supervised while working is a significant expense, so the net value they yield is going to be very low.

Clearly, being a farm worker isn't a career path for the prisoner so the prisoner has no motivation to learn the intricacies of the job. And farm work turns out to have many intricacies. So yeah, this project seems impossible.
