The wainage for a modern farm can easily be worth between one and four million dollars. Corporate farms can go as high as twenty million dollars.

Seeing the above, I fear that the family farm, as most of us imagine it in our minds, is just that, a fond, but  wistful  memory. I was born in a village, but came to Canada(got off the ship in Montreal and never left), when I was three years old and recall almost nothing of my life there.

The old reference to the back forty, is now most likely the back 400/4,000 acres. The old Maw and Pa operation, of an age gone bye.

For those of you, still interested in the farm thing(best of luck), I came across this, it might give you some new ideas and allow your dream to come true.
