Do the first ten have a beef? The farmer agreed to pay them a certain wage and fulfilled his end of the bargain.

You have described every company, everywhere, all the time.

If the first 10 workers are not happy with their wage; they'll ask for a raise or look for work elsewhere. The farmer can decide to raise their wage or let them go. And if their work is better or comparable to the workers earning more money, they'll have little trouble finding another farm where their work is needed.

The farmer can also choose to increase the wage of the first 10 workers to keep them happy and on the farm. So the long answer is no, the workers who signed on early are likely happy w/ their wages but that doesn't mean it lasts for a set period of time.
