10 acres enough

[Thunder]

It's a book about state of the art farming methods by Edmund Morris. Has anyone read it? I thought it was an excellent read and really enlightening about so many things. The last third or so was a bit technical.

Written in 1864.

The thing that gets me is that it seems ten acres would actually be enough today doing what he did, or a similar updated version of his ideas. Of course, what he did was a lot of hard work.....

Good book. Have read it and alot makes sense if you are willing to do the work to properly get all out of, and put all into the land. It is a good handbook for the homesteader type of person.
