A section isn't large for a farming operation. It's only a square mile or 640 acres. Drive through the Central Valley of California and you'll pass through many much larger parcels. My husband and I own a section not far from Yosemite (as the crow flies). It's pretty rugged and remote - basically wilderness with a house and some cattle.
