Can anyone decipher/translate this Italian profession?

Sorry, I missed the last bit - da se = for himself, on his own account.
In other words, he was working his own farm.

Awesome! Thanks so much for that. So that would imply that he owned his own farm? I know in later years records the term proprietario was used and that implied landownership, which was better then simple tenant farmer. Would that be the case here do you think?

I believe the term suggests management rather than ownership, more likely a tenant farmer.

Cool. Thanks again for the assistance!
