There were different definitions of yeoman. One type of yeoman was a servant in the royal household, with a implication of readiness for military duty. Another was a small land owner, having perhaps 30 to 120 acres of land; again the definition included readiness for military duty, and this was defined by law. The Assize of Arms of 1252 required a yeoman to have a longbow, sword, and dagger.
It appears that as a small landowner, the yeoman could be a farmer, but could also get income from his land by renting to someone else.
