Farmer, in the purest sense, is stronger - BUT!
1) It's far too market dependent;
2) You have to wait for your cash; and
3) Food does not pump your NW like military or tech.
A techer can have low military and a high NW b/c of tech; an indy is just boss b/c of military; but a farmer has neither. Also, when a techer sells tech or an indy sells military, they can place their goods on the market w/o it harming their NW (i.e. they still appear to be a higher NW and possibly higher defense than they are, which deters grabs) - the farmer does not have either of those.
Which, IMO, makes it far weaker compared to a casher.
