> There's nothing special about farmers, they aren't geniuses, the work is not that difficult

This is absolutely laughable. The work is incredibly difficult. It literally destroys your body, every old farmer I've ever known has a heap of medical issues from having to do a lifetime of physical labor. It may not be intellectually difficult, but it's very difficult work.

They may be making a distinction between hard and difficult work.

Farming is hard work, as you noted. But most physically able people are capable of it.

Designing a rocket to put a man on the moon is difficult and a much smaller percentage is capable of that.
