[AT] Harvesting questions...

[Edchainsaw at aol.com]

IT  by far  is  FAR  less profitable that's why farms  are now    2,000 to 
5000  acres on average--- it takes   more  land to make a living  ( we farm  
1200acrs)     
it takes us on average 8 weeks  with our  2188 CiH combine   and 25ft/ and 
8row heads..  I know lots of people are faster but we have  ended up with the 
ground no one else  would  steal--- or fight  for  and  a big field for us is   
40acres      just Friday  Dad picked  all  day  in  7 fields  for a total of   
25acres.  
 
our former  fertilizer dealer ( he sold out and started farming)   he now 
farms  over 6,000 acres   all most all i n   big fields  ( we have one field my 
gr gr grampa owned that's 200acrs  but it has no straight sides since it is an 
island  in  a small  river)
