Answer:

fermenting plant material to create ethanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation is the process in which plant material is breakdown under anaerobic condition.

Fermenting plant material will be the greatest short-term profit for the farmer in the given scenario because plant material is already present and fermentation is a quick chemical process with less cost.

While other processes given that is planting and harvesting and wind turbines are long term processes.
