How would you use 20 acres of forest?

I used to grow marijuana (illegally) and had good results with hydroponics. If you did decide to use land for that, I highly recommend doing an outdoor hydro setup. The yields would be twice that of soil based grows, plus the benefit of proper nutrient control and not having to worry about root binding.
You'd need a central water container such as a 55 gallon plastic drum (collect rain water if possible) and a few air pumps/air stones. Get a cheap solar power kit to run the air pumps unless you decide to do a water fall setup into the main reservoir. A water fall setup will provide oxygen to the water pr you'll need an air pump and stones. Do you have access to a creek or water source? If so you can use water pressure from that to feed your main reservoir and you just need a small bucket/hose.
The only other cost involved would be nutrients. I used the Lucas method when growing my plants and didnt spend crazy amounts.

I dunno what your states laws are regarding being able to grow medical/recreational marijuana but if i had 20 acres of land I'd definitely make it for farming that. Being in the woods with lack of road access is good because the probability of thieves stealing your crops drops quite a bit, but the downside to that is animals eating your plants.
Could be extremely profitable if done right.
