From what they're implying (assuming his whole role wasn't just "oooohhh look how cool our animation skill is") is that he somehow has a way to see Salem's plans. And so far, the only specific person (besides Ruby and her own henchpeople) connected to Salem's plans is Ozpin and the Spring Maiden. There were definitely better ways for them to go "Oooh look how pretty everything is now, look how much better the animation is!" (Plus, they accomplished that with the Beowolves coming out of the goo and with the scenery shots for RNJR's scene). I think farmboy is important or significant to some extent.

I think the farm boy could be allude to princess Ozma from the wizard of oz novels. According to the novel, princess Ozma was magically turn into a boy by Mombi and erase any memory she had of being a girl.

This farm boy could relly be a girl without realizing it.

Maybe this is the LGBT that both Monty and RT wanted to bring.

However, Miles said that the LGBT characters are already in the show and have been in the show for a while now. They just haven't found a good way to reveal their LGBT status in a way that's not a big deal and feels as normal and mundane as "Weiss prefers coffee over tea."

That, and they had said an LGBT character Monty was adamant about introducing was introduced in volume 3 (maybe Scarlet), so...
