Edit: Or are you a farm worker who gets a horn about machinery work?

There’s only me here now plus the wife, on about half your acreage.
Wives play an enormous part in keeping it fun and happy. Especially when they are a good cook too!
I’m extremely lucky to have an old friend, himself a former manager about 10 year my senior, to help during Harvest.
So it’s two old buggers having a hell of a laugh. (Ironically, the guy that walked out on me, used to work for him!)
But I had to promise his wife that we stop for a cup of tea every day. Well, the tea and biscuits/cake happens, but not always the stopping!
Nonetheless a hell of a lot of fun and laughs are had.

Meant no offence pal
Right so you're running the show, what's your idea of a decent salary?
My current old doll bitches and moans about cooking the dinner never mind making my lunch
She's handy enough at the paperwork though!

As an employee, what is the benefit of being given shares in a Ltd Company ?
They will grow in value if the farm does well so you are likely to care more about how things go and put more effort in ,you may even get to draw a dividend, if you want you can sell the shares back to the farmer or who ever you want when you leave / retire, it can be a win win for both employer and employee.

How will they grow in value ? As a farm is a restricted Ltd Company (not a stock traded share) the only time they have any value is if the farm is sold, and the shareholding distributed.
In addition, a share-holding has associated costs, which then means they become a cost as opposed to a benefit.
To be paid a divi, you must be a Director, an insignificant number of shares would not qualify for this.
Unless the farm was owned by a large PLC, why would a family owned business give away shares to an employee ?
A profit share, is money in your pocket.
You can issue share in any limited Co, if you own 0.5% of a £2m farm then thats what you own , if the farm does well and pays a £50k dividend then you get 0.5% of that and you still own your share in the farm , I have small limited companies and can issue shares as I want , a profit share can be worthless as most of the time the company doesnt want a big tax bill so writes off as much as possible.

As dividends are paid out of profit AFTER costs, what's the difference to profit sharing ?
Dividends have tax benefits generally, dividends and profit share are similar in so far as they can only come from....profit , no profit no pay out.

Really? Not sure that’s correct.
Give staff one “B” share and you can use that a vehicle to pay annual bonus without NI, minimal tax etc. But a company can still pay divi when there’s no profit, so no worries there.

Can you really imagine many employees of a Ltd company on PAYE wanting to receive shares, requiring them to have to fill in a form for HMRC and /or return a Self-assessment each year?
I doubt it!
Depends on the calibre of the people you employ

What about the Ltd Co liabilities, why would you want a share of those ?
That's directors responsibility.
