    Default farmers

    I've got a guy here, who is a "farmer of 135 acres arable employing three men and one girl".

    I wondered if this is any kind of substantial landholding? Forgive my ignorance!

    The farm is in Aberdeenshire in 1881.

    Many thanks.

    Even today 135 acres would be a fairly big farm in some places

    One acre is about 4047 sq metres...or in old money 43,560 sq feet .
