We are at about 33 shares/A. We don't grow corn or pumpkins. We buy corn from a conventional grower who has lots of class I ground. We farm mostly class III ground, with a bit of class II soil. We do some double cropping, and in a tough year like this year, we source some product from other growers. From the same acreage, we attempt to provide about 100,000 pounds of produce for the Food Bank in addition to the CSA's requirements. We aren't able to rest any significant acreage with these parameters. We could use more ground.
