  I live on a 70 acre farm in New Hampshire. Although I do not grow any crops for sale on an annual basis, it is considered a farm becuse it has barns (2), and saleable crops such as hardwood and hay. I lease out about 20 acres of pasture to a friend who has 19 head of beef cattle (mainly herfords) for summer grazing.
