Farm tin was one of a number of payments required of tin miners in Devon and Cornwall. The holder of a mining sett was required to pay a portion of the black tin extracted to the holder of the tin bounds in which the sett was granted. The portion was the "farm tin".
In addition to farm tin, miners had to pay toll tin and tin coinage before the refined tin could legally be sold.
