Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: one spelling for the past tense and the participle. The participle carries a passive only where farm takes an object. Land or a crop is farmed, but someone who worked a farm simply farmed. It also inherits the leasing sense: an estate or business farmed out was handed over for a share of its yield, and the bare form once meant leased for rent, now obsolete.
