I can only look at the words in front of me, I cannot look at what people might think the words mean. The Minister will agree that legislation means what it means as written. What it says here is "spends not less than 50% of that individual's normal working time farming land". Now if the person is working 40 hours a week, then he has to spend 20 hours on the farm. If he normally works 50 hours a week, he has to spend 25 hours on the farm per week. Is that not what it says?
