What is the difference between farmer and a forager?

Answer 1

The difference lies in the number of farmers being described in the sentence:

• The farmer's tractor was stolen overnight.
• The farmers' along the river were all concerned that the river might flood.

The difference is that one is possessive singular and one is possessive plural. Example of possessive singular:

The farmer's pigs were all rolling in the mud so he had to clean them.

Example of possessive plural:

The farmers' barn burnt down so they had to rebuild it.

Answer 2

A farmer cultivates a crop and harvests it. A forager looks for and harvests from the wild.
