To qualify land for agricultural classification, an application must be filed with the property appraiser by March 1 of the tax year. Only those portions of lands which are used for bona fide commercial agricultural purposes with the intent of earning a profit shall be classified agricultural. Bona fide commercial agricultural purposes means, good faith, commercial agricultural use of the land (personal uses or hobbies do not qualify). For example, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture, forestry, dairy, livestock, poultry, pisciculture, production of tropical fish, aquaculture, sod farming, all forms of farm products and farm production.
