bison said: Hobby farming don't count
Bison, in my book, it isn't the size of the acreage, or the size of the critters or crops, or the size of the tractor (or horses) that makes a "hobby farm", it's the number of hours as a percentage that are spent working somewhere else. A person working 40 hours at a "regular job" might qualify as a hobby farmer, but not if he's also putting in another 70 hours a week on the farm taking care of crops and critters. He (or she) is a farmer with an outside job to support their (non-profit) farm. It's more where their heart is at, not where the money comes from.
Like the story about the farmer who won the lottery - he was asked what he was going to do with all the money, and he replied "Well, I guess I'll keep farming 'till it's gone."
