How many acres do you own/operate on?

[Oleozz]

100 acres in central Pa. About half is tillable, raise sweet corn to sell, soybeans, and planting wheat this fall.
Two tractors, one a 45 hp Kioti, the other a 140 hp IH.

We have approximately 5 acres....with about 3 acres row crop farming. It butts up next to 75 acres in the original 80 acre parcel I farm it now, truck farming. I have two tractors, a Massey 65 tricycle configured tractor for planting and cultivating. A Massey 165 that I use for working the ground, and plowing snow. I have or am acquiring a 4-6 row planter, a 6 row three bar cultivator with all the knives, shovels, coulter wheels, etc. A 7 foot blade, an old style ditcher, a two bottom plow, a six row corrugator bar with row markers, etc..

Doesn't compare to what many of you have....however, I am scared to death and am now in the business of becoming SELF RELIANT with my little farm. I have three families to feed, my kids, and I don't see things becoming any better for the next few years. Soup lines, people in big cities going into full panic mode, food shortages.....all look like their coming.

One very large benefit I have is access to all the irrigation water I can use. I don't have to pump it, all gravity feed and the main ditch is concrete.

We live on 12 acres. I finish mow around 3.5. We're thinking about using the remaining 8.5 to start an orchard or tree farm.

I use a Mahindra 2015 hst with fel for everything

We have 19 acres at the base of the Grand Mesa in Western Colorado. 6 1/2 of it are under Alfalfa/Grass hay, balance is homestead and horse pastures. Use TYM T450 with LOTS of attachments. FUN TOYS!

155 acres: one farm with 150 acres, 4 more houses in the same area.

320 acre cotton farm. 300 of it sharecropped-I keep the weeds mowed on the 20 acre pasture. 100 acres of oaks and mesquites with clearings. 9/10 mile easement for common roads I have decided to maintain. Maybe the neighbors will help with expense, but I doubt it. Have a 2320, 5203, and just bot a 5325 as an upgrade to the 5203. will probably sell the 03 at some point. Use the 2320 for loader and mowing in tight spots, the 03 and 25 for loader and mowing in the not tight spots. Bot a Bush hog rear blade with three hydraulic cylinders to use for the road with the 25. That's about the size of it.

50 acres about 40 wooded in the Syracuse, NY area...
