tenant farmers
Agricultural land lessees
Tenant farmers are agricultural workers who farm land owned by someone else, typically paying rent in cash or as a share of the crops produced.
The arrangement falls between landownership and wage labor—tenant farmers supply their own equipment and make farming decisions but don't own the land they work.
