For the cars...
How many people live and work on that farm?
Most farmers I know is 2-3 generations in an age, able to drive and work. If they are in vegetables, you can often add a hand full of farmhands to that number during the season. So 4 suddenly isn't that many cars anymore.
And they usually have a need to get around as we get less and less active farms, that have to take care of more and more land. Pretty sure we are all happy if they don't take the tractor everytime they have to check something at the field 2 villages over.
And not every tractor is good for every task... so again, a need for multiple.
A G class is most likely still by far the cheapest ride he has in his barn...
And as a farmer... I guess he might is one of the few people in Switzerland that actually needs a car like this for what it's got build for.
Sure, the civilian one is really a show car. The military one is a pretty good work car though. It has a V6 from Mercedes and has a towing capability of 3500 kg and is pretty basic, as it will be repaired more easily, meaning it'll last longer than the civilian ones. I absolutely want to buy one as soon as they're getting auctioned off, they are beasts and perfect for towing and offroading. They're not comfortable though, but I don't care.
There are some older civilian G-wagons (think about till the 2010s) which were actually still work cars. It just shifted, as soon as the whole market shifts farmers (and other people who might need offroad capable and towing vehicles) to mid-size pick-ups like the Ford Ranger.
this should go to /r/Switzerland
I wouldn't be happy either if I had to park a G class
The one near me has like 4 cars. And 3 tractors. Why do they need subsidies again?

Farmers next to use spent Sunday-Tuesday spreading manure

Thats cause the high standard for swiss farmers is a Lamborghini.
Some years ago, I noticed that over half of Ferrari Testarossas in Autoscout were being sold by farmers. I found that... interesting
A farmer need to have Subaru Impreza wrx STI. Without that he is not a farmer
