hoer
Cultivator of rows
A hoer is someone who uses a hoe, the long-handled garden tool with a flat blade used for weeding, breaking up soil, or cultivating.
The term appears most often in agricultural contexts describing farm laborers or gardeners doing manual cultivation work.
The hoers moved down the rows, clearing weeds from between the cotton plants.
