That’s actually his entire point. He is fully cognizant of the fact that he is rich and wants to help be the voice of the common farmer that doesn’t have the resources he does. He said as much in his series.
That’s something else he brought up. How common farmers are getting pushed out because of mega-corps. It’s worth watching at least the first season as most of those questions are answered
“Common” farmers are all multi-millionaires who hire farm labourers to do 90% of the work on their farms. Tenant farmers lease chunks of land off of “common” farmers, who are the aforementioned multi-millionaires.
farming will have to drastically change because of soil exhaustion and droughts due to climate change and centuries of systematic mismanagement of the land. a competent state could lead the way and ease the transition, but here we are. it’s going to be terrible.

this being a calling he found right when they discussed not excluding farmland from inheritance tax so…you know
FWIW, he’s argued that very case from the beginning of the show…
