A good point was made in another post. How many acres do you farm. Someone threw the 10 percent number out as to how many real farmers are on this site vs hobby farms.

I have 20 acres in north illinois, a piece of my grandparents farm on my dad's side. About 14 tillable. I raise corn, beans, wheat, oats, grass and alfalfa hay. A few hogs, couple cows, chickens.
We also have a 6 acre farm in South Ga. , 4 hayburners aka horses, goats, chickens, cats , dogs, 2 cows. All pets for my wife, for now. LOL
I grew up on a 1200 acre grain farm in Minnesota, early 70's. My wife a dairy farm , milked 60 head, 300 acres i believe they had.
We want to get a real farm in the near future when she retires from the Air Force.
