How many acres do you own?

   / How many acres do you own? #21  
We live on a little over 1 acre just outside of city limits, and we've had 20+- acres about 9 miles away since 1989. It has 10 acres of woods, mostly black locust and maples, 4 acres of pines and mixed hardwoods we planted around 1990, and 6 acres that we let run wild. We have a couple miles of walking trails on it, and let our neighbor hunt it. We've also got a railroad trestle over a creek. :)

I really don't like this question. When you ask it of a real farmer, you might as well be asking them how much money they have saved or how much money they make.

I own 5 acres, my wife (farmers daughter) much more than 5 acres. But I don't know how many and there is a reason I don't know. I'm keeping it that way.

27 or so of fir trees and 40 or so pasture and 10 for homesites, barns etc.

We have friends that own 8000 acres, rent out another 2000, and finish about 6000 hogs three times a year.

I have no idea how much they make. What I do know is they like the $4 pork tenderloin at the sports bar the same as us. :):p

14 about 5 maintained, the rest woods. My little 1/2 mile of road is gravel and I make the county keep it that way. Keeps the traffic down to about nil.

Good Evening mtsoxfan,
About 7 or 8 acres of field and the rest wooded ! That keeps the wood stove running ! I bought it at 50 and thought 10 acres was not enough, but at 72 it’s plenty to take care of ! We have plenty of privacy and beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains !
Your view reminds me of our view. On a east ridge, clear view of hills/mountains facing west, but views south to north. Plenty more land available for me to buy, just no funds.
