How does inflation affects debtors and creditors?
The debtors are gainers during inflation, while the creditors are losers. The reason this happens is because, during inflation, the value of money reduces greatly. The implications of which are that a rupee in the month of August is worth much less than what it was worth back in March. This means that a person can buy fewer goods per rupee in the month of august, than what he could in the month of March. In terms of the debtor, he is essentially paying back a smaller amount (in real terms) even though the amount he owed to the creditor remained the same. As far as the creditor is concerned, the value of the money that he receives from his debtors is worth much less than what it was when he lent it to them. (Implying that his purchasing power will be reduced when they repay him)
How does inflation affect saving and investing?
During periods of high inflation, investors generally try to preserve purchasing power by seeking returns that keep up with inflation. Equity (stock) markets generally perform poorly in periods of high inflation with the exception of stocks of companies that benefit from inflation (like commodity companies). The Dow Jones Industrials average was basically flat in the 1970's when inflation was high. Yields on fixed income securities (govt bonds and corporate bonds) usually rise with the corresponding increase in inflation since fixed income investors need a premium over the rate of inflation for a 'real' rate of return. For example, a bond investor that requires a 5% return in a 3% inflation environment will require 7% in a 5% inflation environment. The Investopedia link below has a basic article on this topic.

How does inflation affect farmers?
Effects of inflation on Farmers:The price of farm products goes up faster than costs. Costs lag behind prices of product received by the farmers. It has been observed in India that inflationary tendencies during war and post-war periods have helped farmers in paying off their old debts. Moreover, farmers are generally debtors and have to pay less in real terms, while the land revenue, taxes, etc., do not rise much. Thus farmers generally gain during the periods of inflation.
