Lease it to someone who knows what they're doing, is able to make a living as a farmer, and wants to take care of the land, as opposed to trash it. You're in a much better position to be a good landlord than you are to be a good farmer.
Would be easier for me to learn how to be a farmer than finding someone to lease it. People are poor here and those that can pay will certainly already have their business running somewhere, need to be convinced to take it.
Isn't that the situation you want -- someone who already is successfully farming in the area, and is ready/able to expand?
