I won't bother relating a link. I'll just offer that you may be taking on way more than you can handle profitably.
I had a friend in NY, who had 850 acres of his property devoted to Sod farming. Certainly he was already wealthy, but his SOD wasn't the reason. Selody was his name, and he owned,,,
Tractors, and all the tillers, mowers, seeders, harvesters, cutters, wells, miles of irrigation equipment, and fencing, trailers, trucks, barns to store the goods, and had a huge crew to make the business work.
His soil was premium, his methods professional ,his client base,large, his idea, PROFIT, and like many of us, he loved the land, and took good care of the "crop" even though it was just grass.
If you want to attempt any kind of farming, start small. If you interest in in popular lanscaping, start small anyway, with plants, garden designs, accessories.
Know all you can about grasses etc, climate,, soils, rainfall, the market for your product, and the ability to get funding.

It's not at all about buying a bag of grass seed, hoping it grows, and having people flock to you to buy it.

Good deep fertile soil like a former marshland, as everytime you harvest you will loose a fair bit of soil.

One seed at a time - a lot of work!
