porkpal said:I was thinking of a good deal farther than 1/2 mile. Our old crop land was several miles from the farmstead.
That is a long, long way.
When I was a boy, up here a giant farm was one section, most were 80-160 acres and the fields, at least North of town were small divided by hedgerows of tall trees and rocks.
South of town there were fields of forty acres plus or minus.
Now single fields, even up north cover the area of what once was two whole farms.
