I'd also be curious to see a breakdown of agricultural land in the UK that was paid for rather than inherited.
Inclosure Acts were part of this, no?

but collective agriculture seems to be the only route
Not a particularly helpful observation but the only one I could think of is the C.17th Diggers (Levellers?) trying and (of course) failing.
There’s also the issue of ‘people’ confusing farmers with landowners (‘you must be minted owning all the acres’ ‘no I’m just the tenant who drives the tractor’) thing around here
Actually all this isn’t relevant at all
Probably belongs in the my-landlord-is-an-arse inaccessible thread
As you were -
Just seen this, basically the answer is no there isn't.
I'm not counting the abuse of EU monies to support substance farming such as gorse.

Ffs the question is whether anyone knows of a country where farm workers have a decent standard of living. Not discuss the comparative merits of those few outliers which provide farm workers a decent standard of living.
Yes the Incas were an expansionist empire. I don't think Settlers and Kibbutznik are interchangeable. I don't recall that much of North America being paid for. I'd also be curious to see a breakdown of agricultural land in the UK that was paid for rather than inherited.
I'm happy to hear of others, but collective agriculture seems to be the only route, and of those, the only ones I can think of that weren't basically as bad as any feudal or capitalist ones are Kibbutzim and the Incas. I'd be interested to hear of others.
