Default I have this plot

Down in the village, a mile and a half away. It's 1640 sq yards and I used
to keep milk goats on it until they passed away of old age.
My local council want me to lease it to them for allotments, but I'm not
keen as they want a 10 year minimum lease and I had plans for growing stuff
on it myself when I retire (which will be during that 10 year period.) I
just don't have time atm with working and having 1/4 acre here that is
getting away from me.
I had this brilliant idea. Or is it? There is such a demand for allotments
here that the council cannot fulfil, that I could mark it out in plots and
let it on a crop sharing basis. It has a water tap and is well fenced with
6 ft high gate with a key lock, not a padlock.
Thus getting veggies for myself with no effort!
Has anyone ever done this or know anyone who has?
What does the team think?

Tina
P.S. Nothing chemical has been put on this land since I bought it 25+ years
ago, so it would be totally organic.
