    Have you looked at Publication 225?

    Table 7-1 shows the Recovery Period for various farm assets.

    Yes, 5 years and 179 eligible. In ProConnect is this category "Miscellaneous'? Nothing else seems to fit.

    Category has no impact on the tax return. It is there solely to help present a depreciation report that might match a balance sheet: e.g. Building, Land, Furnishing, Vehicles, Computers, ...  YOU CAN LEAVE IT BLANK.  Blank takes up less paper, if you are printing.
