Just some wild imagination running amok, with all the tension of the PhD research!
Miners are not people who scratch the surface. They do deep. Real deep. But it is mostly in the same place. Depth is the real matter. Width as per need.
The miner works mostly in the dark. The brightest light one has for the work at hand is the helmet light - just like my table lamp. The farmer relies on the sun! His work does not rely on a torchlight!
Contrast that with the farmer. He or she is not going to go deep. The farmer is happy with the surface and makes the most of what lies along the length and breadth of his field. He is not too concerned if there is gold hidden deep in his field. His treasure is what his crop produces.
The miners culls out minerals and stones. Those are valuable to the miner. For the farmer his living crops are the real treasure. Not really worth in property compared to the minerals and diamonds that are excavated from the womb of the earth, but essential for life and living.
The former is a PhD scholar; the latter a learner! And at any given day or time, I'd prefer to be the latter!
