Somebody mentioned in a post below that he hates the term. I have to agree. I don't make my whole living farming, I am a self employed electrician as well. There were times after the '06 housing crash when farming was a huge part of my income, and I couldn't have got by without it. There are also times of the year when it takes up most of my time. Right now, building is good. I don't need the farm income as much, so I try to reinvest it back into the farm. That way, the farm will be bigger and better when I need it again. To me, if you are making food or fiber, and trying to run it as a business, than you are a farmer. If you are growing food for food to eat, or seedstock to make more food, than you are a farmer. I had an old man who started a nice sheep operation after retirement tell me once, "I don't need the income from lambs, but I want to make a profit, because that's how you keep score." I would call a hobby farm somebody who just grows things to let or look at with no regard for business. What do you think?

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
