That's over 10000 acres. I think the "average" farm size in western KS is between 1500 and 2000 acres, but varies all over the place. There is still a lot of wheat out here. However, the 60's were when irrigation was taking hold, and irrigated corn acres increased. I believe the most acres are still in wheat, although some of it is irrigated.
