You are an experienced farmer, cultivating and harvesting nature for the provision of others. You have spent a lot of time surviving outside population centers, but know how to sell your product either directly or to merchants, legal or otherwise. Because you deal with commodities, either as input or as produce, you know how to get things done and how to live on razor-thin margins. You have survived up to this point by working long, hard, and smart.
Suggested characteristics

Most farmers look on their humble origins as a virtue, not a shortcoming, and they are quick to defend their home communities and their values, even if they always longed to leave their rural lives and move to the city.
