24/ * 0.1 acre pig run * 0.05 acre turkey run * 0.05 acre goose run It is a LOT of work to keep up with the 0.2 acres of crops / vineyard / greenhouse... especially when feeding animals every day, splitting wood (which I buy, not fell), etc.

37/ Yep. Playing this game costs $20k (if you're a SUPER cheapskate) or $250k (if you're throwing money at it). I imagine we've spent $100-120k AFTER buying the farm. $80k, bare minimum. https://twitter.com/Odder_n_otter/status/1056908743382843392 …

38/ Yes, I have already started writing a non-fiction book on the topic. Out in maybe 2020? Also have some novels I need to finish. https://twitter.com/politifakes/status/1056908922949263362 …

39/ I call it a "hobby farm" because I don't derive profit from it yet, and because I don't want to steal cred from REAL farmers doing REAL work. https://twitter.com/BenzaminRush/status/1056909117837791232 …

40/ Yep, entirely reasonable. But this is like arguing with a Bentley dealership that "well, ** I ** don't want to spend that much money". Agreed! ...but Bentley buyers do. https://twitter.com/jacksonbacksonx/status/1056909210439639040 …

42/ I have addressed this in other threads. If you earn $15/hr, this is absolutely a win. If you earn $80/hr, it may not be. If you earn ($150/hr (wish I did!)), this is money losing bc opportunity cost. Also, easier / cleaner to store dry grain. https://twitter.com/jacksonbacksonx/status/1056911535992463360 …

44/ I've spent so much money at TSC that when I walk in the manager says hi to me, by name. When I call in and get Charlie, he knows my voice and says "Hi, Travis". https://twitter.com/k_d_payne/status/1056967866937999365 …
