> Farmers shouldn't be subjected to landlord economics via their equipment.

That’s a funny way to phrase it considering that many farmers are landlords.

Landlords are landlords, farmers are farmers.

If you're renting a zillion acres to someone that grows corn or wheat on it, you're not a farmer, your a landlord; the renter is the farmer.

If you own a zillion acres and someone grows corn or wheat on it without renting the land, you're a farmer and they are a farmworker.
