farmer in training

(edit to add, this post was started prepandemic)

When can you call yourself a farmer? 
I think about this a lot. Is it when you are feeding yourself, yourself plus others? Is it a matter of breaking even? Does there need to be a cost (or a gain) involved?  I don't consider having chickens or bees farming. I probably should. Especially with the bees, they are livestock, and I'm finally breaking even on them .. and occasionally making a little money. 

(And now today)

I think maybe farming is when you start to care for your land and plan for the future of it. 

So... Yeah. I guess we're there.
