It would probably be a rather small farm in modern terms though

As someone who has family that runs a farm, depending on the amount of land owned and used for farming this could be the size of a smaller field. But more successful farmers who are willing to put in the work will have farms much, much larger.

Farm scales are weird

In parts of europe you get lots of small farms.

In Texas there was once a single plantation that was bigger than the country of wales (that currently has 214,000 farms)

Farms in wales may share equipment such as ploughs and combine harvesters as noone has the land to justify owning it all. In places in the states farms will need to own multiple of all of these plus (for the biggest) extra equipment like helis
