Hi Alex,

It looks like Farmer to me.

Yes - it looks like Farmer to me as well but the quality of the scan is pretty bad.  I think I'd contact SP if I were you to see if they can send you a clearer one.

They are very helpful

I'd go with farmer - I think the same word appears in the entry above and is slightly clearer.
