This is Lizzy Igbine, again.

I want to consider the threshold for small farms. 

As a practitioner, we classify in my country small scale farmers as having one plot to maximum of 5 hectares. This is also equated to the harvest and outputs. This is our yardstick in classifying the government's interventions in input distributions and assistance to small scale farmers by government. Any production above this scale is considered commercial or big farms.

I hope this will be adopted as our threshold in this research.
