      Many of those farmers don’t own land, they lease it.

      Of course, the rentiers are worse. I agree with that.

      And a tractor needs to be driven and you need to get up early even if it is GPS-enabled and can micro-dose fertiliser into the exact spots the field needs.

      Right, because they’re not workers. The farmers are managers and owners of technology. And they’re becoming unnecessary.

      At least try to understand the role of fossil fuels and technology in all of this.
