[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1620428, member: 38479"] Good question. I see lot of people on youtube in US with a few acres saying they have a ranch.... Frankly, even a hundred acres here is not a farm, that is a lifestyle or residential block, a farm really needs to be thousands, or hundreds of thousands of acres. Sometimes small blocks like 5, 10, 40 acre etc are called "hobby farms" I suppose the difference here is a farm is a commercial business, anything else is a hobby, a liability, and lifestyle choice. You need something to keep the grass down, unless you like burning fossil fuels and goin round in circles all the time (not me). I always thought of a ranch as something open and wild in the US, somewhere John Wayne would have been at home riding a horse around on, not necessarily a "farm", Wiki says anything can be a ranch apparently, so there goes my vision perhaps.
