1099-PATR No Farm, No Business

I have a 1099-PATR for dividends from a credit agency for a mortgage I have on a large forest.  But I do not have a business and I do not have a farm (the forest is a tree farm, but for me, it is treated as an investment, not a business).  Where do I report this dividend?  The instructions in Turbotax for my 1099-PATR assume I have a farm or a business.

This is the problem.

 

It says if the 1099-PATR is for farm or co-op dividends, to enter info about your farm.  I don't have a farm.  Then it says If your 1099-PATR isn't for farm or co-op dividends, it gets entered as general business income. I dont have a business.  

 

It is simply a co-op that I borrow money from and I get dividends every year from the co-op.
