I’m not an expert on the situation in Canada but I grew up in a rural community, “the farm” that many people in town worked on was a pretty sizeable operation you’d drive to. I was definitely thinking more of the industrial-size agricultural operation than a small farm. I definitely don’t automatically equate “agricultural worker” with “farmer”.

Whether being effectively human trafficked counts as WFH is up to definition I guess.
