I'm Officially a Farmer
Today I officially became a Farm. Registered with the USDA FSA as a Small Family Farm and now have a Farm ID number. Working harder in retirement than I did on the job.

Congratulations! Even though you are working harder I bet it is much more rewarding!

My threshold for becoming a farmer was when I had to file profit from farming on my income tax, and the threshold for being a homesteader was when I no longer made a profit and no longer had to file the forms.

I am very sorry if you find this offensive but I do not see this as a step forward. For the next two years I will do my taxes as a farm but when I get my barns built then I will stop even doing that.

And just think,many states outlaw gambling and still allow you to farm. Go figure!
