           <title>Can I graze and take hay?</title>

           <description><![CDATA[I’m lucky as I keep my livestock with a friend on 20 acres and we are not overstocked.  Every year we use ten acres to take hay.

           <title>Question - Is it possible to accurately  measure an acre?</title>
           
           <link>http://www.smallholder.co.uk/editorsblog/9512533.Question___Is_it_possible_to_accurately__measure_an_acre_/?ref=rss</link>
           
           
           <description><![CDATA[Answer

Originally an acre was what it was thought a man and a beast could plough in one day – though it would have been exhausting in some conditions.  I think I would rather have lived on sandy land!
