That doesn’t sound like a lot but between my father and four boys there was plenty of work for everyone. We ran cattle and raised crops for them. Our home place was a menagerie of livestock, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses and chickens too. I don’t recall every being hungry or bored, being bored put a hoe in your hands. We weren’t rich but wanted for not. Today there just aren’t very many little farms/farmers. Most have thousands of acres, with oil/gas royalty’s. They get large subsidies from the government = you and me. I don’t see too many big farmers hurting. It’s the part timers that are and will struggle. SSDD</blockquote>
