Interesting.

farmer (n.)
late 14c., "one who collects taxes, etc.," from Anglo-French fermer, French fermier, from Medieval Latin firmarius, from firma (see farm (n.)). In the agricultural sense, 1590s, replacing native churl and husbandman.

A farmer started out as a tax collector. Who knows if he is still at it?
