[QUOTE="3MR, post: 264449, member: 4180"] I know you qualified it as your definition, but I would dissagree. My definition of a hobby farmer is someone who doesnt run the farm as a business. A hobby is done for the love of doing it. A business' intent is to make money. Therefore, if your intent is to make a profit, you are not a hobbyist regardless of if you actually make the profit or not, or enjoy dong it. If you dont make a profit, there might be something to be said as to your business sense as a cattleman, but anybody who called you a hobbyist would be missguided and not utilizing the word correctly. This still would not be correctly definted as a hobby, but is in fact a business. If he never sees them, he couldnt get any enjoyment from them, but is probably invloved with a profit in mind. For the most part I agree with your post, but would exchange part-timer for your definiton of Hobby farmer. Do you reckon you can raise a family on minimum wage? What does that have to do with what he said? Since when did how much money somebody actually made play into the definition of a hobby, part-timer, etc? If that were the case, then there's going to be a lot of hobby farmers this year. Or maybe I missunderstood what you where tryign to say. If that is the case I appologize. [/QUOTE]
