Hoe do farmers tolerate this?
They must lose tons of plants. Do they have some kind of defense mechanism
besides a gun?

Electric fences are also used by farmers. Neither the dog nor the fence
are practical for a large community garden.

Howdy,

Electrified fences are not likely to help with the groundhog
part of the problem...

A few years ago I was looking out a second story window and
spotted a large such critter happily eating our veggies
while its hindquarters were wedged under out electrified
fence.

The hair on his back clearly revealed the pulsing of the
voltage, but he seemed not to notice.

All the best,
