big-mouthed hillbilly
Following María's comment (in Discussion), this would work, as replacing 'hillbilly' (a really common term in the US) with the word 'farmer' would reduce its effect as an insult.
A 'big-mouthed hillbilly' sounds really natural in English, at least in the United States (as the number of offensive tweets, re-tweets and posts with this phrase might suggest).
hillbilly
often disparaging + offensive
: a person from a backwoods area

Maybe this could work.
