Tips

history
工农 is a Maoist-era political staple. The four small stars on the PRC flag traditionally represent the 工农 (workers + peasants) alongside 小资产阶级 (petty bourgeoisie) and 民族资产阶级 (national bourgeoisie), all rallying around the CCP. 工农兵 (workers-peasants-soldiers) became the canonical revolutionary trinity.
register
The word is heavily marked as political/socialist vocabulary. In everyday speech people say 工人 and 农民 separately; 工农 almost always appears in political slogans, historical writing, or compounds like 工农业 (industry and agriculture).
