What do you do on the farm, are you working large machinery? Anything which could be dangerous?
Or are you shovelling cow $hit and nothing more?
Sorry to be blunt but they will be important factors
The other thing will be assuming you are not the farm owner then the owner will have some sort of insurance covering employees against injury on his farm, the insurance in place may not cover you with your injury

As long as your (temporary) disability doesn't pose a safety threat to you or anyone else I see no reason why you can't continue ue to work. Obviously you boss has to be willing to find you something suitable for a one handed person.
Hope it works out for you

Be VERY careful mate.
my lad broke the scaphoid bone in his thumb
The local hospital, however, said it WASN'T broken after looking at X-Rays.
he went back to work as a plater on the local works, they rang him two days later it WAS broken after all.
Result: SIX weeks in a heavy cast instead of two in a light one.
But now it hasn't healed properly, he's had to go to a specialist, have a bone graft, and is now off work, ORDERED OFF, for EIGHT weeks

I think providing you are doing something like painting which would only require you to stand up not climb anything then you would probably be ok anything more than light duties then no.

Whether you can work depends on the doctor. After a bad car accident where I broke my femur, amongst other injuries, the doctor said I couldn't drive (you may think that's right but when you've a flippin' great titanium pin holding your leg together enough to walk/run on then you think, 'hang on a bit' ....) which thus invalidates my insurance. So no driving.
In your case you have no insurance for work so that's not an issue. Driving? What did the doctor say? Work? If you can still work with the broken hand and not injure it any more/cause issues for anyone else then go to work. But let your boss know asap.

Well went into work today the gaffer was fine and I spend most of the day propping a brush up. Until the doctor says I cant work I will carry on, being careful I dont damage it further.
Yes it is my wanking hand, hopefully the wife will be giving sympathy blowies.
