Milking and threshing sound way more fun than yet another Zoom meeting.
But I want more like 10 acres of arable land and 20-30 acres of forest.
And I’d never do this in a suburb because the soil there is usually crap. They scrape the topsoil off and put back just enough to grow grass.

Whenever I think I can't stand yet another video meeting, I think back on the (very brief) time I spent working on a farm. It was fun for a day or two, but after like 5 days I was ready to do whatever it took to get away from there. I got respect for farm workers, it isn't easy!
When my anglo friends went to summer camp, my family always sent me to pick stuff. My siblings and I got to keep the money at least, but yeah. Farm work is freaking hard, even when you're used to it. Esp when paid by the bucket (still one of the most common metrics)
I’ve worked a small homestead before and miss it terribly.
There are only 0.5 acres of arable land and 5 acres of solid land per person on the planet. (or 2k and 20k m^2 respectively) So you may, if you use that land to feed and provide lumber to at least 20 people.
Gladly.
Is airable land also waterable even though it's in the air?
how many stalks of wheat is a reasonably year's supply in the modern era? 126 stalks of corn would easily be enough for a family that also has other food sources
No idea how reliable this is but suggests that 1/2 to 1 meter squared if crop is needed for a loaf of bread: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/questions/how-much-wheat-make-loaf-bread
No idea what the scale is in that picture, but it'd be a lot more efficient to grow potatoes or some similar riot veg if space is a concern.
For when you need a laugh!
