"1.3 million of those 2.2 million are what would often be referred to as
hobby farmers."
These are the folks who do not make money from farming. They likely lose
money but they have off-farm income, probably pretty good off-farm income,
and so its obviously a tax write-off opportunity.

Secretary Vilsack, you paint a pretty rosy picture but a number of farmers
are still struggling. I mean, it's been hard, bad weather from over the past
year. Other folks are just having a tough time because the economy is so
poor. Is your prognosis as rosy for these
American farmers in 2011?
Sec. VILSACK: Well, I think it's important for listeners to understand that
there are really in a sense three different types of farmers in America
today. If you take a look at farming as it's defined by the USDA, which is 2
.2 million people who are in this business, about 1.3 million of those 2.2
million are what would often be referred to as hobby farmers. These are
people that have a small acreage in the back of a rural homestead. They may
have been orchard. They may sell items at a farmers market. They may sell
more than a thousand dollars worth of product, and based on the definition
they are farmers.
These are the folks who do not make money from farming. They likely lose
money but they have off-farm income, probably pretty good off-farm income,
and so its obviously a tax write-off opportunity.
Then there are about 600,000 folks who sell less than $250,000 in sales.
They would be midsized operations. They are the folks who struggle. They are
the folks who need off-farm income. They are the folks who need
conservation programs because they have land that may be not as productive
as some other farming operations. They struggle and USDA has to be there to
help them.
And then there are roughly 300,000 folks who basically produce 85 percent of
what we consume and what we export. They did pretty well in this economy.
And we need to continue to focus on them, because they produce most of what
we consume and they're also the ones who are generating the exports that, in
turn, generate the jobs.
So there is a divergence and USDA has to be responsive in a sense to all
three groups of farmers, because all of them populate rural care areas of
the country. The rural unemployment rate is going down at a faster rate then
the general unemployment rate nationally. And one of the reasons is because
the president is very focused on trying to create opportunities in all
parts of the country, and we're using our resources to do so.
