Not a plot hole.. Ray was also planting hemp every fourth row and had a deal with the mafia for corpus delicti disposals...

I've never seen this movie all the way through, just watched the last half hour last weekend, but having grown up in Indiana farm country, I thought the exact same thing. That small area wouldn't make that much difference.

I was driving through a cornfield the other day. Fairly modest in size, but infinitely huger than a baseball field. And I got thinking about that Field of Dreams scene too. I don't buy it. But in the context of the film, I think he was neglecting all his fields, not just mowing down a small piece of one of them. Maybe that farm was really damn small. I don't remember.

But when you are barely making it with the land you already have and then reduce any from that, you are going to be digging yourself into a hole.

To be fair that guy thought he was nuts for building a baseball field. You can't really blame him.
