One constraint to keep in mind is how quickly and efficiently the field can be harvested. If you're talking about a crop that is harvested by hand then this isn't really a factor. But if you're trying to grow a crop that is usually mechanically harvested, you have to compete with that efficiency with machines of your own that are compatible with the structure of your farm (or content yourself with selling luxury produce priced for the wealthy.)
