[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1233431, member: 23282"] In the northeast it is farm, regardless if you raise crops or animals. I'm normally a stickler for specific terminology, so appreciate the attempt to make a distinction between the two, but here if you mention ranch it is considered to be something out west which has horses and cowboys, who work some other livestock, which can vary, but cattle, sheep or bison would be the most commonly thought of residents. It is more likely than not in an arid, almost treeless area, with lots of open space, big sky and fancy rock formations and/or buttes. A dude ranch also qualifies as the only definition of a ranch that occurs to many citiots out here. Remember, it was Old MacDonald's [i]Farm[/i], not ranch, and although they may have discussed his garden, it was more about his animals than not. I only have one farm. My congratulations to those of you who do have more than one property, but when I promote it as, say, Cranky Yankee [i]Farm[/i], and some joker assumes, and refers to it as Farms, as though it were a salad dressing commercial or something, they usually discover why I earned the nickname.
