Your three options: Reverse weighted?

Further to my last post regarding the number of ballots sent out in the barley plebiscite, you have to wonder if the eligibility rules actually reverse weight the vote. By allocating the same vote to anyone who has produced barley in the last five years, those who produce barley year-in and year-out have the ballot weighted against them. Similarly, large producers or farms that consolidate their production under a single individual or corporation are punished. Hopefully no one has considered changing their incorporation structure simply to receive more votes in future plebiscites.
