Because....their industry is different.

Normally its not a strong argument, but farming is, in many ways, unlike anything else. Whatever other ridiculous comparisons people want to make.

And besides, I'm still not seeing the endgame here. Are farmers and/or their workers/friends/family actually completely uninsured and so people either have to walk their injuries off or become injured wards of the state?
