farmboy
Young agricultural worker
A farmboy is a young man who lives or works on a farm.
The term often carries connotations of rural innocence, simple upbringing, or lack of worldly sophistication: He's just a farmboy from Iowa.
In fiction, farmboys frequently appear as unlikely heroes—ordinary young men destined for adventure: Every farmboy dreams of leaving home.
