Content Farms

[Joel S. Berson]

 From the mid-sixteenth century it was a coveted appointment to have
the rights to farm an office or farm taxes  (that is, to receive some
or all of the income of the fee the officer charged for a service or
of the amount of the tax).  See farm, v.2, e.g. sense 1.b.
