I earnestly doubt it, William.  You grew up on a 'farm' not a subsistence 
homestead.  I run into the 'grew up on a farm' credential all the time.  Let's 
suppose you were materially involved in the farm by five or six and engaged in 
it until your majority, that would be 12 years.  Some of us not only grew up 
around farms and gardening but I've been at this for more than 30 years as an 
adult, the past 20 it has been the primary basis of our family economy.   

You may be the uber-homesteader for all I know, but growing up on a farm 
won't be what made you one.
