I think the reason many people began using the term agricultural producer
rather than farmer is because it is more encompassing. In Nebraska we have
farmers, ranchers, herdsmen, turf growers, seed producers, tree growers,
etc. Using the word producer covers all of those bases. I never thought of
it as being more limited (one who produces only) than farmer (more
integrative - mechanic, inventor, ecologist, etc.).
