I do work for a family run farm that is considered BTO, they farm about 18,000 corn and beans milk 2500 cows,,every thing is in a whirl wind there, I makes my head spin trying to fathom it all . My brothers and I started growing back in the 70's and got up to 3,000 of corn and beans, I managed it til 1990, it was a handful to deal with but we always felt we had a good handle on it all, they are still doing about the same amount with larger equipment, in our county we are probably considered BTO's,,,only 2 other operators farm more than they do and they are in the 4500 range 5-6 probably in the 3000 range and maybe 10 in the 1200 range...our county is in the south east edge of the larger farm area. And yes it does depend on the area you are in, and yes a lot of times more is not better, our farm has a grain system that deals with our acreage and we have always believed that there should be "harmony" in the size of a good well run operation.
