Sorry, your farm isn't a farm, Iowa assessors tell angry landowners

'Iowa farm income has followed suit, dropping about 42% to $5.5 billion in 2015 from a 2011 high. ', "That means raising a few chickens or having a big garden don't necessarily make a small acreage a farm, Iowa assessors say."

'Tim Johnson, senior research and policy analyst at Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, said the question comes up every reassessment year. '

'U.S. farm income is projected to fall to $62.3 billion this year, about 50% lower than the high set in 2013. ', "In other words, as far as his property taxes are concerned, Smith's farm is no longer a farm."
