Showcrop, just curious - where do you have a "dog in this fight"? If the registration serves some purpose (other than revenue enhancement), what would that be?
I suspect a lot of the original farmers of this country were as much involved in growing food for their own family as they were in selling their produce. If a guy grows a garden for his own use and then sells any surplus to friends and neighbors, does that not make him a farmer? Would you allow him to be rejected as a farmer? If so, then prepare to be rejected yourself when the BTO get a law passed that says you must farm thousands of acres before you get to be called a farmer....ie the slippery slope of divide and conquer.

If we tend to support the government encroachment as long as it isn't our ox that is getting gored, the future government bureaucracies will devour us all.
