[QUOTE="Robigus, post: 49196, member: 206"] I think that in today’s economy you would struggle to make a living on an 85 acre farm if you were producing commodity product, especially if you did not want to buy in your fertility. The system that worked for him was, I suspect, highly labour intensive by contemporary standards and would be uneconomic today. If I had a farm of that size today I would look at either intensive livestock – chickens or pigs – or consider a market garden producing either fruit and veg, or crops for garden centres. [/QUOTE]
