It would then mean, "Where on Kronos are there a few of their
farms?" Is that what you intended?

{-bogh} is also a verb suffix indicating a relative clause. My
statement translates to, "Do you know farms which can speak?"
> {Du'mey} "farms", {DaSov'a'} "You know about Them".
You've inserted "about" in a place I would not.

Okay. Correction: "Do you know farms which can speak?"

In TKD it is made clear that we know little about Klingon
eating habits, and for the weak stomached, this may be a good
thing...

If you want, "Klingons who farm", you want to look into {-bogh}
and relative clauses. Check them out in TKD.
