"797 acres are designated to North Piddle. 422 acres is a grassland, and the rest is arable land" This is written in the present tense but comes from a source dated 1924. I think it is very unlikely that these figures are the same today. Richerman (talk) 11:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK, I would go ahead and add the year to the statement.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:09, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
