The answer is yes if you have adequate earned income (and wages are included in earned income). For example, suppose your return reflects $60,000 in wage income and a farm loss, before 179, of $10,000. You then have $50,000 of 179 to play with ($60,000 less the $10,000). If you had $30,000 of wage income and a farm loss, before 179, of $35,000, then you could still elect 179 but it would be suspended and carried over since you have no net earned income (farm loss exceeds you wages).
Also, don't forget you have the option to use the 50% bonus depreciation on new (qualified) property. 179 property does not have to be new.
You need to take a look at the hobby loss rules if you do your own return and create farm losses year after year.
