If there are not enough bodies in your area to support a farm, you
have two choices: 1.) Expand the size of your market area through
advertising; or, 2.) Absorb the losses that farming produces (be they
$ losses or time spent without reward). A third alternative is to stop
farming.
If you realize that there is no market, then either find new ones, or
do something for which there is a market, or reduce the scale of
your operation to that of a hobbyist, forget tax deductibility, and
occupy your newly freed time with something else.
