A farm the brewery named is a direct statement in a beer profile. A farm that grows one of these hops is published as growing it, and it does not mean the beer used hops from that farm.
No beer profile of this brewery names a farm.
No farm is published as growing a hop this brewery uses.
Field is the number of entries in the category that year. Entries per medal divides the field by the medals awarded.
