How about DRAFT for players on a farmer team? We probably need to think about secondary meanings too.

Fair enough, green THUMB is possible. I don't like KNIGHT or DWARF because farming would be more logical, as Dave pointed out.

MOLE and WORM are indeed fairly weak.

We should definitely start with STOCK imo.

[Dark Savant]

Season 0 is telling us not to pick SPRING.

So we're picking Farmer words that are not CHICK, GROUND, or SPRING.

STOCK pretty much has to be one of the words, I'd think, for the same reasons as before.

Having a green THUMB is also quite important, yeah.

Lewwyn may have thought GROUND was acceptable risk; it's gray and not red or black.  I'd say MOLE and WORM are both next -- even though I said I thought Morgue weakened the latter -- because I'm not sure I see much else ...

... because while a farmer feeds many MOUTHs, I'm wondering whether Season 0 is telling us to avoid it, because you Season food to eat.

Point to Stock

I’m really not sure of the other ones. I would have expected Spring and Ground to be slam dunks, but now that they aren’t I’m not sure anymore.

stock is blue

It's possible that TAG was a farmer word (livestock typically have ear tags), but we would still need two more.

WORM seems like the best of the remaining words, even though I liked Dark Savant's argument against it.

Is there a famous instance of farmers going on STRIKE? Does anyone farm SCORPIONs?

[JR4]

I really like DRAFT next. Surely, that`s a better fit than WORM or SCORPION, none of which are really connected to farming. 

If no one joins me on DRAFT, I`d say MOUTH - THUMB - WORM - SCORPION in that order.

[JR4]

And yes, what a mess we`ve made this round. 

[Dark Savant]

I think Thumb is the strongest remaining word, even though I didn't see it at first.

It's possible that TAG was a farmer word (livestock typically have ear tags), but we would still need two more.

WORM seems like the best of the remaining words, even though I liked Dark Savant's argument against it.

Yeah, at this point it's one of the better remaining words, though I don't think it's best.

MOUTH can be strong or something we should avoid.  If Lewwyn wanted us to avoid only SPRING, he could have clued something like Mattress.  I'm inclined to avoid MOUTH, but I can also see just taking it after Thumb.

Is there a famous instance of farmers going on STRIKE? Does anyone farm SCORPIONs?

Farmer strikes happen, but what comes to mind first are farm laborer strikes -- it'd be a better fit for Farming.

Scorpion farming is not a thing I've ever heard of.

DRAFT because of minor league baseball teams, i.e. farm teams? I'd be much easier to convince if the clue were farm instead of farmer; as is, I don't see a strong connection.

Although, come to think of it, Clydesdales and Percherons (?) are called draft horses, i.e. animals that can pull a wagon or plow. That is possible.

My top three: DRAFT, THUMB, WORM.
