History of Irish Farms:
In the 1840's two thirds of the Irish population depended on farming for their livelihood. There were 685,309 farms, well over three times the number of holdings today. 45% of farms were between one and five acres, and only 7% over 50 acres. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the average size of Irish farms has increased. In part this was due to emigration from the countryside. The implementation of the Land Acts of the late 19th & 20th centuries produced owner-occupied farms. By the end of the 20th century the average size of a farm in Ireland was 70 acres.
