How did the farmer pay him
Answers
Farming or tax-farming is a technique of financial management in which the management of a variable revenue stream is assigned by legal contract to a third party and the holder of the revenue stream receives fixed periodic rents from the contractor. It is most commonly used in public finance, where governments (the lessors) lease or assign the right to collect and retain the whole of the tax revenue to a private financier (the farmer), who is charged with paying fixed sums (sometimes called "rents", but with a different meaning from the common modern term) into the treasury. Sometimes, as in the case of Miguel de Cervantes, the tax farmer was a government employee, paid a salary, and all money collected went to the government.[citation needed]
Farming in this sense has nothing to do with agriculture, other than in a metaphorical sense.
Answer:
The natural variability of local weather conditions from day to day and year to year can be a barrier to farmers’ understanding of climate change and the extent to which they perceive adaptive management is needed (Wilke and Morton, 2015). Adaptive management in agriculture can entail minor adjustments in practices to major changes to the farm operation. How farmers give meaning to changing weather and climate and construct intentions to adapt (or not) are situated within the detailed context of personal observations and experiences on their own lands (Arbuckle et al., 2014, Arbuckle et al., 2015, Morton et al., 2015). Although farmers can be rational agents who “behave strategically and tactically in relation to their farming practices,” there is significant evidence that scientific climate knowledge is filtered through local knowledge constructed from everyday encounters with weather and the land both felt and observed (Geoghegan and Leyson, 2012, p. 59). This filter is based in personal values and beliefs that define a situation, elicit goals, and guide actions (Verplanken and Holland, 2002). The underlying central values and beliefs a person holds shapes their self-concept and contributes to their sense of identity that, in turn, influences behaviors (Verplanken and Holland, 2002, Burton, 2004, McGuire et al., 2012, McGuire et al., 2015).
