Recently, I recieved a request for information on the economic viability of
farming on
relatively small acreages - from 5 to 40 acres.

I am interested in locating any studies that show what types of farming
systems are practical
at that size and what conditions must be met (like proximity to market,
etc), infrastructure needs, impediments, etc.

I would appreciate your help in locating such studies/reports. Thank you.
