            D.    Mr. Weeldreyer’s Separate Farming Activity                                            
                  During the years at issue, Mr. Weeldreyer individually (and                           
            not as an employee of Dreyer Farms) farmed at least three                                   
            additional properties.8  One of these farms was located across                              
            the road from the Weeldreyer farm.  The other farms were located                            
            2 to 5 miles away.  The grain from these other farms was stored                             
            on the Weeldreyer farm and commingled with the grain belonging to                           
            Dreyer Farms.                                                                               
            E.    Compensation and Payment of Food, Lodging, and Medical                                
                  Expenses                                                                              
                  Mr. Weeldreyer was the sole employee of Dreyer Farms.9                                
            Dreyer Farms paid Mr. Weeldreyer, as an officer/employee, $750 in                           
            1995 and 1996 and $1,000 in 1997.                                                           
                  Following the transfer of the Weeldreyer farm to Dreyer                               
            Farms, the Weeldreyers continued to use the farmhouse as their                              
            residence.  Dreyer Farms paid for (1) the food consumed by the                              
            Weeldreyers and their children, (2) the utilities, property tax,                            
            insurance, remodeling, landscaping, and repairs and maintenance                             
            for the farmhouse, and (3) the telephone used by the Weeldreyers.                           
            In addition, Dreyer Farms paid for all the medical care expenses                            
            of the Weeldreyers and their children.                                                      


                  8In addition, in 1995, Mr. Weeldreyer did custom hire work                            
            for which he received $1,175.                                                               
                  9Although the Weeldreyers’ two sons were not employees of                             
            Dreyer Farms, they helped with the farming chores.
