Funny how time flies. In 72 when my sister married into a dairy farm it was one of the largest farms in the area, close to 700 acres, 50 head of beef and a 38 cow dairy. Supported two families. Now it's my BIL and nephew farming it. Over 1000 acres, couple hundred head of beef and 40 milkers. It takes to two of them just to keep up with it and sometimes they have to hire extra help. As far as dairy goes it's small by todays standards. They buy supplements but raise all their own feed. They haven't lost on the dairy unless you figure in the 4,000 bushels of 7 buck corn they fed them last year that they could have sold. I just don't see how, running 20-25 head, renting a farmstead, that you could make it work. Not while working a full time job.
