Thanks for the information. That was interesting. I take it you’re in the farming business?

I just used 10/100 for illustration purposes, though. I’m aware that 10 acres isn’t really viable....though my grandparents did eke a living from a “farm” in Oklahoma that was less than that in the 30’s through the 70’s. I think their biggest crop was stray dogs, but they somehow made a living off a few dozen chickens, a couple of milk cows, a pig pen and, I believe, a small tract of potatos.

And one big colorful bird. A peacock I think it was. For some reason they always had a peacock around. It was one o those thing that didn’t seem strange at the time, but thinking back I’d sure like to know what the peacock was all about.

Anyway, thanks for the interesting data.

Hank

Just a thought: a lot of people around here keep peacocks on thier acerages because they keep the snake population way down.
