I don’t know about that. I guess there may be some sampling bias, but I actually know a handful of farmers that are well educated and or saavy business people. They tend to be surrounded by communities of naked under their overalls bigoted neckbeards geographically, but I’m not sure the majority of actual farmers are as dumb as you imply.
Well you know, unless you’re Trump, who would defang the FTC and prevent them from taking this sort of pro-consumer action. Then the farmers will vote for you anyway because at the end of the day they’re still predominantly bigots.

This is alone is compelling evidence that the average farmer is substantially more bigoted than the average person.

They don’t even know shit about the land they farm. Western (and now global by virtue of colonization) farming techniques are abysmal. The way we grow our food and take care of our lands are awful. But God forbid those librul scientists dare to suggest change…
Farmers are absolutely necessary and are far underappreciated but god damn, are they also some of the most stubborn people you’ll ever meet
