You're welcome to take it up with the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, as that's their definition of each occupation.
Edit to add: if someone owns the land and works it, they're a farmer. Someone who works land without owning it is a farmworker. I think there are more non-landworking farmers when you get into animal farming, even at moderate (for that side of farming) scales.
