Special classifications apply in agriculture. Farmers ¹ or farm operators ¹ are those who farm the land for profit; among them we distinguish between farm-owners ², who own their land, tenant farmers ³, who rent it from a landlord, and share-croppers ³, who give a portion of the crop in return for the use of land and livestock. Agricultural laborers ⁴ are persons working who are employed by farmers.

2. A farm manager who is salaried is generally classed as a farmer.
3. In Scotland a small farmer is sometimes called a crofter. A farmer with a very small farm is also known as a smallholder.
4. Agricultural laborers are of three general types: fulltime agricultural laborers, day agricultural laborers, and seasonal agricultural laborers. This last category often consists of migrant laborers.
