It's probably all relative. I have 22 acres, and most people think 
that's big, too, but I know a couple of you have multiple hundred.  The 
list itself is probably a good cross section.  Is there anyone with a 
farm larger than 500 acres?
How about 250 acres?
100?

22 acres doesn't seem large enough to support a massive plantation with 
multiple slaves...a few kids would do. ;)
