The Size of a One-Person Farm: 2,000 Acres?
From FarmDocDaily's discussion of possible payment limitations on crop insurance:
A significant number of family farms with one full-time operator would exceed acre limits between 1,800 and 2,700 acres.
That's bigger than the average Illinois grain farm. I continue to be amazed by how productive our farms are.
