My 200 amp service is at my grain drying bin, which is by far the biggest load we have. There are also other bins there with spreaders, augers, fans, etc. There's a 100 amp breaker feeding the house, and another feeding the barns /shop, both underground. We are considering adding another drying bin and an elevator leg at which point we would be max'd out. We can hook up a tractor powered alternator at the service(so we don't get stuck with a bin full of wet crap) and still run the shop, and enjoy a comfortable house! Here an extra service means at least $20 a month just for having the meter setting there and an account open. And the rate would probably be higher. I vote for one main service, subfeeding other buildings as necessary, and the proper transfer at the service to allow auxiliary power( which, with a big enough alternator, will still allow you to operate as if on the power line).
