1000 of elevation change inside 200 acres that's a 60+ percent grade. Far too steep for me. But first is it a ridge acrost it or a hump in the middle. If the field is a square patch, it must be about 3000 feet on a side. A thousand-foot ridge accost the center would add 2900 feet to the 3000-foot strait line trip acrost the field. I am having trouble thinking you can farm land that steep.
