'der Bauer' and 'der Farmer' can both refer to a person who works in agriculture. 'Bauer' is the normal German word for someone who works on a farm or owns a farm. 'Farmer' is used especially when talking about the Anglo-American world, for example large farms in the USA, Canada, or Australia. It can also emphasize a large commercial operation. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with agriculture. In Germany, 'Bauer' or 'Landwirt' usually sounds more natural; 'Farmer' fits better for farms in English-speaking countries or for very large operations.
