Are you sure that applies to farmers at farmer's markets? The farmers at the farmer's market that I personally know are not that wealthy and have farms on dozens of acres. Re: slave labor, you might be talking about farmers that have thousands of acres, selling at large scale, who need to hire a lot of hands.
Also, "millionaire" seems a bit misleading here. A family farm that's passed down might have a million in assets, but that gets eaten up quickly when you count land, vehicles, livestock, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean someone is living like a king with dispensable income.
However, I'm definitely ignorant about the data when it comes to this, so I'll take a closer look!
