In my area no one can start farming without some outside income. Can't be done, no way, no how. We're using money from my retirement check to fund a lot of this farm, but it's darn sure no "hobby". I get the same thing from the dairy farmers around here, "If you aren't dairying and milking at least 100 head, it's just a hobby." Horse puckey. One of the biggest mouths in that line around will tear down any guy that doesn't meet his 100 cow dairy rule, but he also freely admits to "farming the gov't" and owns an insurance agency and a lot of rental housing units. Another guy of the same type makes a lot of money fixing other peoples tractors, yet he claims his income is from farming alone. And he also "farms the gov't".
A lot of this comes down to pride and name calling. Those 2 guys I mentioned both had their farms and their equipment more or less handed to them by Daddy. The rest of us had to start from scratch.
