The few households of fullholders (kmiecie) were well-supplied with servants and with children, the older of whom they could afford to keep at home, even in a married state, rather than sending them out to work as farm servants, as the poorer households did.
Fullholders' grain rents had remained unchanged since 1727, ranging from 3 to 12 bushels per farm.
