1099-PATR for fishing cooperatives

I am a member of a commercial fishing cooperative (processes & markets fish caught by fishermen members) & received a 1099-PATR, including Box 1 Patronage Dividends & Box 6 Section 199A(g) deduction. When I try to enter this in TurboTax, it wants me to describe my farm & generates forms for farms. I do not have a farm. This is a cooperative, but it is a cooperative of commercial fishermen. How/where do I enter this correctly? I think it might need to end up on a Form 8995-A, but I'm not sure of that (or how to get it there).

I tried this answer (https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/where-do-i-enter-form-1099-patr/00/26767) but it didn't seem to fit, since I did receive patronage dividends from a co-op, it was just not a farming co-op.

This can be entered into your business schedule, as other income and this will be included with the Form 8995, Qualified Business Income deduction. Keep the Form 1099-PATR with your business records.

Thanks! I understand how to enter the 1099-PATR Box 1 (Patronage dividends) & the Box 3 (Per-unit retain allocations) as other income on Schedule C, but I'm still stuck on where to put the Box 6 Section 199A(g) deduction (formerly known as DPAD) without triggering questions about farms. I don't see a place for it on Form 8995. There is a spot for it on line 6 (patron reduction) of Schedule D of Form 8995-A (Special Rules for Patrons of Agricultural or Horticultural Cooperatives), but I'm not clear that a commercial fishing cooperative qualifies as an Agricultural or Horticultural Cooperative.
