exploitant du sol
This is from a list of items in a Swiss tax return. It appears to translate as "dirt farmer", but I would appreciate it
if others can confirm this. I'm also wondering if that register would that register be appropriate for a tax return.

exploitant du sol
I have not seen a Swiss tax return but on French ones you need to classify and sometimes sub classify your activity.
People who work in the commune are 'exploitant du sol' when they take care of the beds and hedgerows. It is basically a farmer or someone who works with soil.

Fairly straightforward. "To use" when it comes to land or forests or any part of the natural landscape, is "exploiter" in French (not "utiliser"), whatever the activity, except in some international organizations with peculiar glossaries applying calques, such as the UNFCCC (where "land-use change" becomes "changement d'utilisation des terres").

: term is in a Swiss context. It's about the person (exploitant), not the business (exploitation)

Discussion
I think it must mean farmer, but I don't understand why they've chosen this unusual form of words - maybe it's something like "farming and allied activities".
