A farm land is not used 12 months in a year. Take for instance a rice field that is planted in July and the crop is harvested in October. The farm will be planted with watermelon or mung beans for the off season (some farms have only 1 season for planting rice when there is no irrigation system).
When the farm land is idle some entrepreneurs will rent the land to plant a crop. The crop is good for 3 months of renting out so the entrepreneur would plant peanuts or fast growing vegetables like pechay (Chinese lettuce) or the native cabbage. Barring any weather disturbances the harvest is good enough to earn a decent profit. The main purpose of the entrepreneurs is to give the farmers work during the off season. That is an admirable act that the government should support.
