It didn't symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It's not about different proletarian occupations; it's about a class alliance between two working classes.
The peasantry doesn't exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.
Can't believe I missed that in the title, yea, peasantry aren't proletarian but instead they are their own class.
