Yeah, I believe the intended reading should have a comma after farmers, which would clarify that "them" at the end of the sentence is only referring to engineers, police/fire/ambulance, teachers, etc...
EDIT: actually now that I think about it I don't know that a comma alone would fix it, but I still support the comma there.
Yeah, I am not a native speaker but I think it could been a comma and clarify who "them" would be as in this sentence "them" would be farmers, not others.
