what?

Beta is a stage in software development.

First there's Alpah (internal)
Then there's Beta (external testing)
Then you can have Gold - release.

A farm usually refers to a multiple of something, be that computers / virtual computers / servers or animals.

You might have a server farm runnign Beta Software?

A beta version or beta release usually represents the first version of a computer program that implements all features in the initial software requirements specification. It is likely to be unstable but useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers, but not yet ready for release. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, as a technical preview (TP) or as an early access.

Often this stage begins when the developers announce a feature freeze on the product, indicating that no more feature requirements will be accepted for this version of the product. Only software issues, or bugs and unimplemented features will be addressed.

Beta versions stand at an intermediate step in the full development cycle. Developers release them to a group of beta testers (sometimes the general public) for a user test. The testers report any bugs that they found and sometimes minor features they would like to see in the final version.

You are thinking that beta is an acronym where every letter stands for a whole word. Beta is just a word that means the software is in a pre-release stage where real customers can use it, but at some risk.
