They don't need to own the farmland.

All seeds will be GMO soon enough and you need to pay a high premium to grow their patented seeds on your own land.

You don't pay you don't grow a crop.

You are correct, farmers don't need to own the land. Cash rent is a big business. I know of two brothers that run 60,000 acres mostly in Illinois from North to South and East to West.

You actually get a premium for non-GMO crops. However I am suspect about distances that need to be maintained to prevent cross-pollination.
