80/10,000 acres of what? Is your uncle in corn/soybeans?

80 acres is a Vermont kind of operation. Eating crops. They're around.

Around me, cranberries are another crop where large farms will own thousands of acres. And there are some large dairies that grow the food for their herds as well as give them grazing space. There are no lack of commodity farmers in my state, but you are right that I appreciate those who grow food more.
