MacNut raking can only happen if you have lots of fine soil (like Rosaanne has) On lots in HPP, you will end up raking in more cinders than nuts (most of the nut farms in Puna either have a deep layer of very fine cinders at the base & use tractors, or hire people to squat for hours a day filling ginomous bags (be aware that the MacNut market swings wildly here, some years you cannot sell the crop, other years you cannot have enough to keep up with the market.... )
Have you that of leasing you HPP lot for AG? not a huge market, but if it is near a grower, you may get a little $ (maybe enough to pay the taxes...)
