That is a few million dollars of rolling stock, used a few weeks a year.

I grew up on a farm. My Dad supported us with 800 acres, and 6,000 head of hogs. Today, we would not be able to live.

You need upwards of 3,000 acres to make it a full time life. I don’t even know how much livestock you would need. Most of the packers use sister corporations for that stuff now.

That is why this is so nuts. If we all went back to the lifestyle that the Pope and others wanted, most of the world would be paying a logarithmic scale more for food.
