"If they cease farming, but keep the land, it would be perfectly fair to base the tax on the land’s newly enhanced value." Does this imply you see a difference between:

(a) land owned by the person farming it and no rent paid; and

(b) land that is owned and let out to a.n.other who farms it as a tenant of the owner?

I'm not a farmer, but I would support making an exemption for (a) so long as the successor was a direct member of the family and personally farmed it as owner/occupier rent free.
