No profit in three years means what you are doing is a > hobby. Period. Do you think its possible that the rules are more complicated than given here? Just one example, losses in three consecutive years are far from rare in the farming business. I own such a farm and rent out the land. Its relatively new but there are now farmers who grow only crops, no animals. No rain, no crop worth harvesting. For starters on more complicated rules, what is the position on minimum wage? Does the guy sitting on the tractor for 12 hours each day have to earn minimum wage?
