Andrew Lloyd Webber. Billionaire composer of musicals like cats and phantom. Also a farmer apparently, owning thousands of acres and befitting from the tax breaks and hope value.

They either employ people to farm the land (like Clarkson did I to 2019, and indeed stop does), or rent the land out for a tiny return on investment in the 1-2% range while avoiding the only tax that even attempts to fight against the aristocracy

Sure, land owner .. not farmer, as the term is used here.
He owns thousands of acres of farmland and benefits from the tax breaks, hence him turning up protesting removing those tax breaks.
