          After considering the parties' concessions,1 the following issues           
          remain for our consideration:  (1) Whether petitioners are                  
          entitled to various deductions claimed on the Schedule F                    
          (farming) for the years 1991, 1992, and 1993; (2) whether

          of $243.62 and $771.92 conceded by respondent for 1992 and 1993,            
          respectively; (3) whether petitioners are entitled to                       
          contribution deductions in excess of the amounts conceded by                
          respondent; and (4) whether petitioners are liable for the                  
          accuracy-related penalty attributable to negligence under section           
          6662(a)2 for 1992 and 1993.                                                 
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT3                                   
               Petitioners were married and resided at Snow Hill, Maryland,           
          at the dates their petitions were filed in these cases, which               
          have been consolidated for purposes of trial and opinion.  During           

               1 Petitioners conceded that they omitted interest income and           
          a State tax refund, but stated that those omissions were not                
          intentional.  Respondent conceded certain deduction items after             
          petitioners provided documentation.  The documentation is part of           
          the trial record.

          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the taxable years at issue,             
          and Rule references are to this Court’s Rules of Practice and               
          Procedure.                                                                  
               3 The parties’ stipulated facts and exhibits are                       
          incorporated by this reference.
