They are not a proletarian working class in any meaningful sense and we must fight back against the cultural perception of them as such. The farmer must be seen as villain, not resistance fighter; the farmer sides with the occupier when they invade, the farmer collaborates with the secret police, the farmer wants nothing more than to open up a concentration camp.
