Farm about 1200 acres of row crops on some of the nicest black dirt in Il. Some owned, some crop share, some cash rent. There arent any mega farms here. Most farms are less than 1000 acres and still have some livestock or operators who are nearing retirement age and have no desire to expand. Most of these familys have been here for more than one generation but this is going to change quickly. I see some people dont think a farm this size is a full time job but if you dont hire anything except a little help hauling grain in the fall it will keep you pretty busy.

Great to talk with you guys, whatever you do to support your habit! Sounds like we are all farmers at heart.
