http://dbpedia.org/resource/Farm_typology
The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) has developed a farm typology, or farm classification, that divides the 2.1 million U.S. farms into 8 mutually exclusive and relatively homogeneous groups: 1.
* limited resource farms 2.
* retirement farms 3.
* residential/lifestyle farms 4.
* farming occupation/lower sales 5.
* farming occupation/high sales 6.
* large family farms 7.
* very large family farms 8.
* nonfamily farms. Also, the eight categories can be collapsed into 3: 1.
* rural residence farms 2.
* intermediate farms 3.
* commercial farms

Intermediate farms, constituting 24% of all farms, account for 19% of production. The largest number of farms, characterized as rural residence farms, constitute 68% of all farms and account for 8% of production.
