I have 20 acres in north illinois, a piece of my grandparents farm on my dad's side. About 14 tillable. I raise corn, beans, wheat, oats, grass and alfalfa hay. A few hogs, couple cows, chickens.
We also have a 6 acre farm in South Ga. , 4 hayburners aka horses, goats, chickens, cats , dogs, 2 cows. All pets for my wife, for now. LOL

We want to get a real farm in the near future when she retires from the Air Force.
