As far as income tax goes if your accountant is familiar with agricultural tax returns then I would say all you got to do is just show up with receipts. All farm income is reported on a Scedule F. It really isn't that bad for small time guys like me and you I have attached a link to the IRS guide on farmers taxes. It actually can be sorta helpful and maybe a good idea to read through even if you accountant is gonna handle everything.
As far buying equipment, parts, seed, chemicals, etc. tax exempt that maybe a state by state thing. In SC all you have to do is fill out a form stating it is for ag use with each vendor that you purchase from and you can buy your stuff tax exempt.
I know of some people that fill out a Scedule F even though all they do is drive around on a tractor and plant food plots. It is my understanding that if they are ever audited the IRS will want to see some evidence that they are actually trying to run a business (make money) not just create a tax shelter. Not in anyway saying that is what you are doing, but it may be good to show a profit every once in a while. I understand that on small acres like ours if you take all of the deductions the big boys do that can be hard, but I try to be rational and fair to myself and the goverment about it. With these prices you might be surprised that you can make a little (not a lot) of money. Best of luck to you!!

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
