Now if he raises beef, and spends most of his time finding customers, and otherwise selling his product, I consider it a farm related activity and still a full time farmer.

Since it is so dfficult to survive on a farm income, I believe it is best to reserve the title "full time farmer", for those whom can actually accomplish this feat.
