It can't be called an "operation" by any stretch of the imagination; certainly not by today's standards that's for darned sure.
That old farm is just a hobby-farm by the best of definitions. Just a silly old man's folly. It is my "therapy" and I'm just an old fool out there playing in the dirt with my old iron toys. :>(
