By "outstanding work", do you mean "work that was done well", or "work not yet done"? At least you are not talking about a farmer "outstanding in his field"...

EDIT: For those reading a machine-translation of this post: The "farmer outstanding in his field" phrase is a pun, were "outstanding in his field" is an English idiom that means "respected by his professional peers", but heard verbally in the context of a farm, the listener would be torn between the common idiom and the picture of a farmer standing in a farm field. Idioms and puns seldom translate well to other languages, hence, this explanation.
