Maatilataloutta harjoitettiin osakeyhtiön lukuun. Osakeyhtiön osakasta, joka omisti yhtiöstä 60 %, ei pidetty maatalousyrittäjien eläkelaissa (MYEL) tarkoitettuna maatalousyrittäjänä, joka omaan tai yhteiseen lukuun itse työhön osallistuen harjoitti maatilataloutta. Näin ollen osakasta ei vakuutettu MYEL:n nojalla. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu.
