Subject: Re: Do we really have 1.9 M farms?
I am pretty sure that I am one of those farmers.

My parents were (sort of) timber farmers. They bought a parcel of land grown for lumber production that was managed by the forest service. So, every trip to the cabin could also be a "visit to the farm" to check on it--and thus tax deductible. They eventually sold that land. It had a bit of march on it, and he found some relatively hard-to-find wood growing at the marsh edges, so he cut them down and some were made into nice walking staves.
