We have to register as a farm over here now. We've been breeding horses for about 10 years now on our own. We pay full price for everything including fuel (about 80% tax on fuel and 19% sales tax on everything else). We have rented property and pay the insurance for the case that someone gets hurt on the place, have the horses insured in case they get out, pay a fee for each animal in case it dies so that it can be picked up. Pay taxes on each animal because we did it as a hobby, not to avoid registering, but because we couldn't rake up the minimum amount of land required because of a couple of local farmers sucking up everything available to add to their subsidies. FF now, we bought 2 small pieces and built a run in shelter the size of 3 stalls on one and 2 on the other. A farmer can build up 10 100 sq mtr (100+/- sq ft) on his property without a problem. A farmer gets his farm fuel at a little under half the pump price, pays 7% tax on everything farm related, receive 150-300 bucks an acre, and a few other things. My 2 buildings total 450 sq ft+/- and I am told to tear them down or register as a farmer.
Am I gonna take advantage of te perks of being a farmer? You bet your sweet a$$ I am. I'll be a money pit for them because we aren't big enough to give anything back.
