My point, if you can't decipher it, is that they obviously still have authority over it whilst using other peoples money to look after it whilst using it as "they" see fit. Not all farmers will do this, "as they see fit" (read abuse). My point is about hypocrisy and double dipping. Their high moral ground is a farce at times. I was born in a poor man's bed and such is my lot. Many farmers are born in a bed that bestows heredity "rights". Or if you work real hard (no guarantee), kiss the right arse or marry the right person then you might get a piece of that action too.
