Well, I think you need to give a bit more information. Your profile doesn't say where your farm is located, what zone, what annual rainfall, what the land is currently growing or has grown recently, what your local markets are.
My own acreage is diversified because it is a homestead style farm. My market is local residents. Thus I produce a wide variety of veggies, fruit, livestock. If I were to plant the entire farm in one crop, it would mostly go to waste because my market could not buy it all.
It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com
