It actually sounds like they're running a tax scam there on that "farm."

They have an agricultural use of the property and they're probably paying very little in taxes on it, but they're operating it as a commercial establishment. If I was a neighbor or a competing business I would have every reason to be upset over this.

I don’t know much about how all of that works.

Here in WA state, small farmers in Snohomish and Skagit Counties are selling many things off of their farms. Some have corn mazes, pig races, etc.

For many, they create dozens of jobs and represent a good chunk of revenue, without which they’d likely fold.

A name I don’t here much any more is ADM. They bought up so many farms over the years and consolidated them. Cargill I believe did similar.
