A big part of the problem is that each state can make its own exceptions for people operating within that state. Farm permits and the like are purely a state matter, the Feds do not recognize them at all so you will not find that information from the DOT/FMCSA.

From the Fed perspective, over 10k you need a DOT number if you are "in commerce" with the vehicle. It all depends on the trooper and the judge, but that covers anything that earns money. I know troopers who have ticketed kids pulling a horse trailer to the local rodeo because there was a cash prize.

Your state may have some exceptions for farm, pulling your own product, or during harvest season. But that would be a state rule only, and you can't go by what people in other states can do.
