If you can spend the time to paper and mulch it properly to start with, peppers are almost care free. Especially hot peppers. Few fatal pests or blights. Few insect pests. Even very few animals like the real hot ones. They handle heat about as good as anything, and many peppers are usable either green or red/yellow etc..., and typically keep on the plants well. That's what I would grow. 3 acres is a lot of work to get started properly, but after that, just pick em.
