I'm going to explain the joke.

At the time, the halberd was one of the strongest weapons in the game. However its moveset wasn't particularly forgiving to novice players. If you were to simply spam light attacks, then it was a mishmash of different types of strikes that weren't particularly useful. However, by using the correct inputs, it was possible to cancel the attack chain and spam the fuck out of a vertical chop attack that was extremely potent at defeating elite targets. Some players described the action of spamming this vertical chop attack as being reminiscent to tilling a field with a hoe. Kruber's backstory is that he came from a family of humble farmers. The joke is that when beset by stormvermin on all sides, remembering the farming skills of his childhood allowed Kruber to unlock the full power of the halberd.

Here's another one from back then: Skippergate.
