We don&amp;#x27;t count hobby farms as they aren&amp;#x27;t our typical users. We are focusing on the ~280k row crop farms in the US of which over 90k have started using FarmLogs. Most of our customers have between 600 and 10k acres of land each.</text><parent_chain><item><author>wooster</author><text>This number (&amp;quot;one in three&amp;quot;) is really ambiguous[0], as I haven&amp;#x27;t seen them state what they consider a farm to be.

Last I checked the vast majority of farms out there aren&amp;#x27;t large operations, but incredibly small family-owned &amp;quot;hobby farms&amp;quot; or market gardens (what most of us would identify as a small vegetable farm).&lt;p&gt;Having known many farmers over the years, I can only think of one who would really have a use for this.  The rest would probably just dismiss it without much thought.</text><parent_chain><item><author>wooster</author><text>This number (&amp;quot;one in three&amp;quot;) is really ambiguous[0], as I haven&amp;#x27;t seen them state what they consider a farm to be.
