    like wise,

    they get nothing at all for being a monitor farm,

    maybe a bit more access to people they can learn from
    but they have to a good bit of work, book wise, to be part of it

    They get no direct payment, but if there's a demo. eg fencing. They might get a bit free. Or a dosing demo where they get their cattle dosed for free.
