Was Egypt a farmer colony?
I am not sure I understand what you are asking, but if you are asking whether ancient Egypt had farming, it absolutely did. One of the benefits of being near the Nile River was irrigation of crops. If you are asking about Egypt as a British colony, the British took over in 1882, after Egypt had been an independent nation for many centuries. But England did not see Egypt as a source for farming; the British were mainly interested in keeping trade routes open, and maintaining influence in the region.
