ploughman
Soil-turning laborer
A ploughman is a person who operates a plough, turning soil for planting.
The word evokes traditional agricultural life before mechanization.
A ploughman's lunch is a British pub meal of bread, cheese, pickles, and cold meat—simple fare associated with field workers.
Also spelled plowman.
