Farmer is a person who grows crops or raises animals for food and other products. Farmers may grow grains, fruits, and vegetables or care for animals such as cows, chickens, and sheep. Their work includes planting, harvesting, feeding animals, and managing land. Farms can be small family operations or large commercial businesses.

Farmers work in rural areas around the world, from rice fields in Asia to wheat farms in Europe and cattle ranches in the Americas. Farming has existed since early human societies and continues today. Farmers provide food and materials used in daily life. Their work takes place in fields, barns, and open land.
