The 4H School for the Gifted

I'm open to suggestions. I want to start a agriculture school. I am friends with the president of 4H in Ghana and he has worked out an agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture to take over an under to non-utilized facility right on the Volta. I think we could make it work and it needs it. What I'm hearing is to keep these schools running you need a "rain maker" project. That means a product or service that essentially pays for the rest of the school. We'll do honey harvesting, animal raising, maybe dairy, then other under produced crops, but I think the rain maker would be a grain silo. Corn is big but no one has grain silos so all the corn goes bad and the price skyrockets during that season. We could buy up the corn during the low season and sell it back during high. Oldest rule in the book... buy low sell high. What do you think?
