> A guy is paying farmers to farm for him

Pedantically, that's what a farmer does. The workers are known as farmhands.

That is HIGHLY dependent on the type and size of farm. A lot of small row crop farmers have and need no extra farm hands.

		All farms need farmhands. On some farms the farmer may play double duty, or hire custom farmhands operating under another business, but they are all farmhands just the same.
