I wish it were true that farms are 99% family owned....it doesn't mean that that 99% produce most of our food...

the govt counts almost anything as a farm...we have a small garden on 5 acres and I had to fill out one of those farm censuses a few yrs ago....

have on cow and a couple of chickens and the govt probably considers your place a "farm".

Right you are. Three-fourths of farms don not sell enough product to support the producer, who is more of a hobbyist that relies on non-farm income.
