[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 77569, member: 9"] Agree. Hobby Farmer (Rancher) in my opinion is someone who has a day job and uses the operation as a tax write-off or weekend leisure thing. Also known as an "absentee landlord". On other hand, for someone starting an operation new, unless they want to (or can) get into high debt, they finance their startup operation with their other cash. Then, in several years, they may be making some money or a profit. They are living on the place. They are set up as a business...the INTENT is to try to make some money on it and support some kind of rural lifestyle. This is NOT a hobby farm in my opinion. Still on the other hand, if an operation has a few livestock on one of those "ranchettes" (e.g., 5 or 10 acres) in a "controlled" type subdivision on the outskirts of a city...yes, that would be classified as a "hobby" operation...in my opinion.
