Two and half acres? Uhmmm...that’s not going to grow much more than a potato patch.

Oh well, at least they’ll have vodka...

You opine: “Two and half acres? Uhmmm...that’s not going to grow much more than a potato patch.

au contraire

They do this on 1/10th of an acre...

2 1/2 acres are the right size for the vodka trees

I thought 160 acres was the norm in the mid 1800’s in America.

I forget whether a Homestead was a quarter section—160 acres, or a whole section—640 acres. My late husband and his brother recently sold a 40 acre 1/16th section in southern Illinois. Land had been subdivided among heirs. I cannot imagine migrating to Siberia for 2 1/2 acres unless near a city.

You’d be amazed at how much my mother-in-law grows on a far smaller piece of land.
