Eah. A lot of “farmers” are land owners who hire other people to work on their farms. The average net worth of an American farming household is like, north of $1.5 million iirc.
1.5 million is not that much. Also theres a massive difference between how much you own (without debt) and how much money you make. Even while 1.5 million may sound like a lot it is in fact a quite small farm. They are probably not making that much money (also remember, that a lot of their income gets tunneled directly into paying back debt for investments.
If they weren’t proletarian they wouldn’t have to work. Farmers are some of the most hard working people in society. 70h a week is a normal workload. They work 365 days a week and still get fucked over.
farmers should revolt against the capitalist government, for they are proletariats as well

I’m not saying they’re “rich”. I’m saying they’re not, as OP suggests, proletarian.
