potato farmers

Spud field workers

Potato farmers are people who grow potatoes commercially.

The term is straightforwardly literal—farmers whose primary crop is potatoes: Idaho potato farmers lobbied against the new water regulations.

Like other compound occupational terms, it functions as a unit describing a specific agricultural specialty.
