John Charles Barnett, 90, from Tybroughton, near Whitchurch, was discovered on January 2, 2020, in the slurry pit at his farm by a police diver.
His overturned mobility scooter was a short distance away.
Nigel Byrne, 50, told senior coroner, Mr John Gittins sitting at a court in Ruthin, North Wales, that he had started working at John Barnett’s farm on the North Wales-Shropshire border from the age of 15. Solicitor Louise Eccleston said he was leaving a sum to Mr Byrne because the pensioner said he had been “such a good lad” but didn’t want him to have his house or buildings.
He suggested Mr Byrne “lost his temper” because he thought Mr Barnett had gone to change his will, something the farmworker denied.
