Subject: RE: Cost of Living: If you lived like a different time, could you farm like a different time?

Floyd County, Iowa

Bill-

You're right.
As I re-read the OP, I guess I kinda missed his initial question.
If a family would live like they did back then, and work the land with the machinery of that time like they did back then, then they could probably do it, even with today's prices of inputs.
One thing for sure, there'd still be 4 or 5 families on every section. Pretty labor intensive occupation back then, as I recall.
I took the question in a different context.
