[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6517580, member: 63856"] I have 105 ish acres here, I bought another 12 acres around the road as the dairy farmer who wanted it couldn't afford it at the time. What a ball-ache that was, even though I only had a mob of lambs on it and it's only on the other side of the village, that extra faffing around easily doubled the time input of "my farming", and really achieved SFA other than the capital gain when I onsold it (I build a shed on it, and fixed the driveway and house). So although that's an extreme example of foolishness, I got to see firsthand just how easy it can be to let "a bit of extra dirt" create a headache and inefficiency. I [B]will not[/B] buy more land unless it either: A. Adjoins what we own now B. Is at least 250 hectares, making it worth the trip. 100 acres provides a pretty good income if done right, which of course I strive to do. [/QUOTE]
