Read the original post . You seem to think that anyone who diversifies on their farm is only a hobby farmer , you need a reality check as many farms have diversified in one way or another & are in no way part time farmers . It doesn't make them part time farmers as you suggest . Are b & b pigs/cattle a diversification , or contracting or a farm shop , I could go on but I need to go & do some diversification work .
That's right. First and foremost we have to earn a living. How many acres I farm is immaterial. I can turn my hand to all sorts of work as well as look after the farm or even let it if needs must. The farm is a useful base for a whole range range of businesses. The farm yard and buildings are actually more useful than a thousand acres in terms of generating revenue.
