AFAICT it doesn't outlaw depositing >€3000 at the bank, it'll just be reported.

And that's what farmers are annoyed at. If they don't deposit it, they can "forget" to report the income themselves, and cheat the tax man.

This doesn't follow; then they could just spend it in increments of less than €3000.

But it's harder to spend.
