I live in an area where almost all full time farmers are retirees from something else who did exactly as you describe, myself included. When I retired from teaching ag (and extension before that) I farmed full time and did custom work. It worked well for a while but the custom work kept getting bigger and including more things (first baling hay, then building fences, then horse barns, then houses). Low and behold, 10 years later I realize Im no longer a farmer but a contractor. Jan 1 I retired again, back to raising cows and hay. We'll see how long this lasts...... To me a hobby farmer is my typical custom work customer, 2-5 horses, chickens, goats, etc on 5-20 acres. Anyone else, part time or full time is a farmer.
