How many acers do you farm?

Me personally, almost 1,300 but our own farm that is run by my father, me, and uncle is 12,000. 8,000 cropland and the rest grass. Raise wheat, durum, malt barley, and beef cows.
 
24 acres of hay and oats. with nothing newer than a '65 4020. And even with that little trifle I still get my hay rained on!
 
Those acres are typical out here for a lot of other farms and the machinery we use big modern efficient like 500 hp tractors, 60ft air drills, usually 2 combines class 7 or 8 and big self propelled sprayers.
 
We own 50 acres (or acers, I guess), and I "rent" about 25 more from four neighbors in small, oddly-shaped fields. All of that is in hay, and none want any compensation, they just like having the fields kept clean
 
You are all going to laugh... 2 acres of my own with a MT, LA and 1020 mostly pumpkins and the rest veggies. I also run an orchard that is 5 acres of trees plus 25 acres of open land that we keep cut at the moment. For that there is a 8N, 2355, 2555, 2550 and 2440 that run and a 2240 that I would like to see run. I also work a 9-5 which often times is a 8-6 so time is the limiting factor.
 
360 acres, of which 210 is tillable, farmed organically. 8700 organic laying hens. I have a 2007 317 skid steer, a 1977 4430 SGB, a 1973 4430 open station, a 1955 60, and a 1944 B. I'd like to find a nice clean 4450 4650 or 4850 MFWD to put a loader on and feed cattle in the winter, but that's a ways down the road. building a couple decent sheds to keep my machinery in is the "next" project
 
Probably around 80 acres which is all hay and pasture ground. Run 20 pair of Hereford Angus cross stock cows and will be getting back into sheep after taking the summer off. Will have around 25 ewes. The wife has 25 laying hens. I buy all corn from a neighbor and get stalks for the returned manure. I have a 1970 4020 gas, 1970 4020 diesel. I use dads 1970 4020 as well as 1969 3020. Also have an A JD and a MH 444 LP and M Farmall and 730 JD LP.
