agricultural worker/smallholder employed in a factory

You could say 'peasant farmer' but 'peasant' does have rather negative connotations once you get past the middle ages in historical terms. :-)

(temporary) farm worker / agricultural worker

e.g. :

www.afl.org/campaigns-issues/farmworkers/background.cfm

I'd say "temporary" is a proper translation, but "seasonal" may be good in an appropriate context.

"farm worker" is way more common both in normal usage and in legal usage, while "agricultural worker" is rarely used albeit correct.

P.S. I based my translation on definition of "Chłoporobotnik" as per Polish Wikipedia :

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chłoporobotnik

Chłoporobotnicy kategoria społeczno-zawodowa, mająca znamiona warstwy społecznej oznaczająca osoby zatrudnione na stanowiskach pracowniczych, zazwyczaj jako niebieskie kołnierzyki, które jednocześnie prowadzą gospodarstwa rolnicze. Kategoria ta występowała w Polsce okresie PRL-u. Po 1989 roku wiele osób z tej warstwy stawało się bezrobotnymi ze względu na to, iż wobec konieczności zmniejszania zatrudniania w zakładach pracy, tego typu osoby posiadały dodatkowe środki utrzymania.
