In point of fact, it isn't personal production if the crop isn't used solely by the person in question. I mean, damn. I want a gold mine for personal production. Or maybe a hydroelectric dam. Hmmmm....

So, 99.9% of farms are in fact not personal property. Such as the farm of the guy in question. Damn few subsistence farmers in the developed world these days.

No, spider. It's personal production if you do the work. It's wage slavery if you hire employees. Keeping what you physically produce has nothing to do with being a subsistence farmer. You just like that definition because it reinforces your idea that socialism sucks but it is a misconception borne of ignorance.

It doesn't matter what you do with the product you produce. He could burn it or sell it as he pleases because he produced it. He owns it.

You probably don't realize this but this view of property rights and free association comes from this tradition:
