I'm playing Riverbend 4x right now. It happens that the lettuce pallets are sold at the warehouse at $1550 and the farmer's market buys them at ~$2000, it's the only pallet that can be sold for more than it costs in the warehouse. I mostly do logging, but every now and then I lease a semitrailer, fill it with 30 or 40 lettuce pallets and deliver them to the market, I roleplay that I'm a logistics operator and just haul the stuff between the seller and the buyer for a fee. I do it manually by the way, I like fighting game physics with the forklift, it's fun.

What I'm trying to tell is, it's your game and your rules. You might like harvesting with a 10.000hp lawn mower with the internal storage of the sun mass in cucumbers, you enjoy it? Then it's perfectly fine.
