Comments by "" (@charliemoore2551) on "Why inheritance tax charges are really good for real farmers – but not for financial whizz kids" video.
This is excellent. You list 3 problems farmers have but you missed out the fourth: The low real wages which the end customer, the consumer of the farm products, receives. This does not in any way detract from your other arguments but I think it should be mentioned as the overall prosperity of the population is bound to have an impact on farm gate prices. The point about the financialisation of farmland is the killer, though. The farmer is being robbed by parasitic financial capitalism just like everyone else.

@nicholaspostlethwaite9554 No. It's those living from extractive capitalism who are over-remunerated. Workers, the people who actually create the wealth, are farcically underpaid.
