The Farmer is best known as the unlucky guy who first ran into Raditz when the Saiyan warrior showed up on Earth. He's also notable for being the first person to get an official power level reading in Dragon Ball Z—a pretty significant claim to fame, even if his actual strength wasn't much to write home about. As an ostrich farmer, he was just doing his job when he stumbled into one of the series' earliest and most pivotal encounters. His power level reading became a major plot point early on, helping establish the scale of how outmatched regular humans were against these alien threats.
