Definition Of Farm Needs Work In Kansas
In Wichita and Washington, experts question calling any operation with over 1000 dollars in annual sales a farm. They note many small, off-farm income operations skew totals, with 70 percent of U S farms under 40000 dollars in sales and 1 6 million under 40000. Changing the definition would affect funding and policy targeting for states like North Carolina with many small tobacco farms.
