Ah, James, that's kinda what I said. The homestead should support itself and its occupants. Not sales for the purpose of acquiring gold but for the purpose of sustaining the homestead. There are things that do not grow in all areas.

And it isn't things that the agri-business models seems to need -- fertilizers, Frankenseeds, etc.

Our definitons would still vary. And historically those on homestead or
pasoral economy often, if not most often, did other things not directly related to
farming or husbandry.
