mostly it's subsistence farming - e.g. they raise enough food for themselves. and of course, every able bodied family member works for minimum wage somewhere, when they can. but that does NOT make it a hobby farm.
yes, in fact people in the US make the equivalent of less than 10K a year and still live.
- lazide 4y agoThat’s using the farm mostly to feed themselves, and then supplementing with a bit of income here and there for ‘hard currency’ - which is very different in my mind at least from supporting themselves with the farm (as a business). But I see your point. That’s definitely subsistence farming, and common the world over in some form. And agree, not a hobby farm at that point.
