Subject: Re: Do we really have 1.9 M farms?
The US Department of Agriculture defines a farm as “any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the year.” When the USDA conducted its last farm census in 2022, it counted 1.9 million farms.

This definition seems silly to me. If I, as a lone gardener, manage to sell $1000 worth of vegetables during the summer to my neighbors, I'm a "farmer"? That's absurd!
