Farmers are far from police. Normally the farmer relies on a shotgun.
Try reading Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood"
Someone looks at the farm acreage, and buildings and think that the farmer is wealthy.
He/she probably is but has no ready cash

Post Weimar Germany was full of wealth envy, much like a lot of America today.
Due to remote location the farmer is mostly on his own.
One of my cousins on a farm in NZ got a shotgun for his 9th birthday.
Teaching Hunter Safety in New Jersey, 10 year olds, testing for a hunting licence were very competant with a shotgun.

I think a farmer with a handgun is prudent. Hope they never need it.
