The old farmers I know are
keeping hold of what land they can, and letting it out, because they
don't
have very good pensions. The land they own is their pension.

As you describe these persons, I would call them speculators in land
value, not farmers.

so someone who swaps jobs for one that is better paid is a speculator in
labour value?
Come on Torsten, your bias is showing.
