I encourage everyone to start a farm if possible, take a look at the IRS Schedule F and write off as much as you can. sure, you have to report some gross income, but you can show a loss! year after year, you can show a loss. you only have to prove intent to generate a profit. you can be "bad" at business, and they will let you report a loss.
of course, building a profit center is the point, but don't let the irs scare you. you're small potatoes to them. they're going after bigger money bags.
