    1. A person who works the land and/or who keeps livestock; anyone engaged in agriculture on a farm.
      Hyponym: (dated) peasant
      • 2012 December 1, “An internet of airborne things”, in The Economist‎[1], volume 405, number 8813, page 3 (Technology Quarterly):
        A farmer could place an order for a new tractor part by text message and pay for it by mobile money-transfer. A supplier many miles away would then take the part to the local matternet station for airborne dispatch via drone.
