Homestead #2
Tech D (Early Electric)
10 persons. 15-64=66% or 6.6 rounding up to 7 adults . Labor pool = 2/3 of 7= 4.62 rounding up to 5.
Tech level D Agriculture 11-25%, Mining / manufacturing/construction 25%, Distribution=20%, Other services 32%
5*0.25= 1.25, 5*0.20= 1, 5*0.32= 1.6
Five adults, One Farmer, One maker, One Trader, 2 Other.
Consume = 300kg wheat equivalents x 10 persons = 3000Kg
A Tech level D farmer produces 1300kg per hectare at 40 hours of work per hectare and can harvest 50 hectares per labor year (2000 labor hours).
3000kg/1300kg= 2.30 hectares of wheat produced for a labor hours of 92 hours.
The homestead requires 50Kg of meat and 150L of milk per person to adequately feed them.
50Kg*10= 500kg of meat and 1500L of milk.
The Homestead raises hogs for meats like hams and bacon. Hogs require 6kg of corn for each kilogram of pork at harvest. 6*500= 3000 kilos of corn….. only 10% of the herd can be harvested to keep the stock healthy though. 6*500 =3000/2*1300 = 1.2 hectares or 40*1.2= 48 labor hours * 10 (10% is consumed) 480 labor hours keeping hogs for meat.
2.3 hectares wheat and 1.2 hectares corn. 2.3+1.2= 3.5 hectares * 40 hours per hectare…. 140 labor hours plus 480 hours herding hogs for 620 labor hours per year farming the absolute minimum.
