§ 400.306 - Spouses and minor children.

Copy with citation

Copy as parenthetical citation

The spouse and minor children of an individual are considered to be the same as the individual for purposes of this subpart except that:

The spouse who was actively engaged in farming in a separate farming operation prior to their marriage will be a separate person with respect to that separate farming operation so long as that operation remains separate and distinct from any farming operation conducted by the other spouse;

A minor child who is actively engaged in farming in a separate farming operation will be a separate person with respect to that separate farming operation if:

The parent or other entity in which the parent has a substantial beneficial interest does not have any interest in the minor's separate farming operation or in any production from such operation;

The minor has established and maintains a separate household from the parent;

The minor personally carries out the farming activities with respect to the minor's farming operation; and

The minor establishes separate accounting and recordkeeping for the minor's farming operation.

An individual shall be considered to be a minor until the age of 18 is reached. Court proceedings conferring majority on an individual under 18 years of age will not change such individual's status as a minor.
