The 580 acres we rent was enough for my grandfather to support a family of 10. Today, I could support my family of 3 with that many acres if I ran a show farm near an urban center. But as a working farm it is unfeasible to support a family.
It's sad. 500 acres used to be a decent sized operation. Now, 10k is a starting out size.
