There's some crossover in the discussion, between farmer and landowner. Farmers can be purely salty sons of the soil (SSS). Farmers who are landowners are generally more minted, and often with behaviours more associated with the right wing and securing inherited privilege, the swines (SS).
It's perhaps the ultimate form of bland nothing, cheap to produce event, used to trap punters in a (controlled space) venue, and flog them endless overpriced food and drinks, while taking money off their diminished responsibilities through the mechanism of reckless poor value punts. Slightly more widely acceptable than a dwarf tossing night, while being duller but more profitable.
