Calling someone a peasant is an insult, basically calling them trash. At least that's the slang term for it. In the end they both mean the same thing. Someone who works in the fields.

Calling someone a peasant is not always an insult. It's also a label for the class system in society. Something like: Monarchs, nobles, merchants, artisans or peasants. It's just the caste system.
A farmer is someone who works the land to grow things or raise animals for work or food.

"Peasant" is not a current term. No one is a peasant anymore, but it's an old-fashioned term for someone who works in the fields, or is poor. I agree it is not always an insult.
