In colonial times, a farmer typically owned and worked on a piece of land to produce crops or raise livestock for sustenance. On the other hand, a merchant was involved in buying and selling goods, often in town or city settings, and engaging in trade for profit. Farmers were more connected to the land and self-sufficient, while merchants had a more urban and commercial focus.
