After 'fake farmer' claim, Devin Nunes reports he owns small farm that earns no income

WASHINGTON -- For the first time in more than a decade, Rep. Devin Nunes is reporting that he owns a stake in a farm.

The new disclosure comes a year after Democratic groups accused Nunes, R-Tulare, of being a “fake farmer” and unsuccessfully challenged his description of himself as a farmer on California ballots.

Nunes, R-Tulare, reported on a newly released financial disclosure form that he owns a Tulare County farm that generates no income for him and is worth less than $15,000.

Nunes has never before claimed a farm as one of his assets in annual financial disclosures, according to public records dating back to 2007.

1. Seems to be a trend.

Buying goats for the sake of a tax break. I have someone I know who is looking to find out how much she has to invest in transplanting her own plants to qualify as a nursery business. She rejected the goat idea because she doesn't want to worry about feeding them when she travels.

I can understand why people who are scraping by are looking for angles, but Devin Nunes? Really?

2. If he owns a plot of land large enough for even a few goats or a cow

It's worth more than $15,000. If he owns a single tractor, even the smaller kind with a front end loader it's worth more than $15,000. Does he list the acreage? How much does one acre in that county cost? I think, at least here, you have to have at least one acre for some farm animals. Maybe he just has a garden.
