I just, moments ago, realized that a "farm team" (e.g. a minor league baseball team) does not refer to the players, but to the function of the team.

(I thought that a "farm team" consisted of not-good-enough-for-the-majors players who came from small, perhaps farm towns. In reality, it's a "farm" for the major league team.)
