Yeah that's pretty much the scenario around here, small guys renting to the big dogs, and who could blame them the price of equipment these days. 400 acres would be a good sized spread in these parts. The big guys run 1000 or 2000 acres I'd say. But there's still a heck of a lot of small guys, maybe not buying those big tricked out behemoths, buying compact tractors. The blueberry grows seem to have enough money. Don't be too dismissive of the importance of our agriculture industry, particularly when you consider how little manufacturing is left in this country.
