we need food more than anything, of course genuine farmers

Yes but we don't need everyone to be a farmer. Maybe we need 2% of the population or less to be farmers. So if you wanted to give farmers ie 30% of the voting power they'd need like 15-30 extra voting points. But that number could vary. Also just because their a farmer it doesn't seem like they have should have more say in everything else the government needs to do.

My proposed solution to this issue was the government should be broken up in to different departments with their own budgets. There should be a farming department where you directly elect those there like anything else and they are the only ones allowed to create bills that pertain to farming.

Same with police, public transit, military, interstate commerce. Medical and Education should have the bill of rights updated so that either of these the government can not make a single law about.

This would ensure you get to elect actual experts in their field to handle those fields. Instead of electing one person and hoping they have good advisors and listen to them.

The farming thing is like I said a bit more ceremonial, but in low population states with plenty of farmers, you'll have loser fucks in cities with an average of about 2 votes, and rural farmers with kids and businesses who will average over 5 votes helping to balance the disparity in population, the farmer thing isn't aspirational it is recognition of fundamental needs outweigh those other aspirational things.

That's true that would work out well.
