If you calculated the average farm size in the Midwest, the agricultural breadbasket of the country, my guess is the average size would be considerably larger. In Central Illinois, where I'm from, 500 acres would be considered small, and possibly not of sufficient size to provide a decent income to a family. In this area more and more farming is becoming corporate, and those "farms" would be MUCH larger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
