Trespass becomes a felony under which circumstance?

Explanation:
On posted agricultural property. When land used for farming is clearly posted with signs indicating entry is forbidden, trespass on that property can rise to a felony. The law treats agricultural land as highly protected because of its economic importance and potential risks to crops, livestock, and farm operations. The other scenarios don’t automatically trigger the felony level of trespass: merely being in possession of a firearm doesn’t by itself convert trespass into a felony under the trespass statute, trespass on a DV shelter involves other protections and rules, and launching a projectile across someone’s land to kill an animal involves separate offenses related to discharge of a weapon or animal harm rather than the trespass statute itself.
