B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires an adjective to modify the noun 'farmer'. 'Wise' is the correct adjective form. 'Wiser' would be comparative (comparing two farmers), 'wisest' would be superlative (comparing three+ farmers), and 'wisely' is an adverb. With no comparison indicated, the simple adjective is needed.
