Definition
农 is a bound form in modern Chinese — it cannot stand alone as an independent word. You'll always see it as a morpheme in compounds related to farming and rural life, such as 农业 (agriculture), 农民 (farmer), and 农村 (rural area). When you encounter 农, recognize it as the building block for these common words.
