As incredible as it may sound (I grew up in the tidewater, where 10 acres of tobacco was considered a farm), these are family farms, here.
The only reason some of these family farms are incorporated is to keep the government from siezing a huge chunk of the farm for death taxes.
The equipment required to farm wheat on this scale costs over a million dollars by itself. Profit margins per acre are small so it takes a lot of acres.
I was raised an worked in tob. most my life a lot of 35-100 acre family farms around here
