Farmers are people too.
Farmers are people too.
Meaning in plain English
The saying affirms that farmers are people too. It asks that an occupational label not obscure the person behind it.
Example
Someone asks about a worker’s own interests instead of assuming their job describes their whole life.
Deeper explanation and when to use it
Too gives a simple reminder of shared humanity the form of a correction. The supplied gloss discusses hard work and boredom, but the words themselves do not establish either characteristic. A useful application resists reducing someone to a role while leaving their actual interests and circumstances open.
When to use it
Use it to discuss dignity beyond an occupation.
Keep in mind
The phrase does not establish what farming feels like or what any farmer prefers.
