The link is not working but searching "compagnies d'agriculteurs" 1793 on googlebooks will show two books mentioning its creation. Anyone knows more?

There seems to be an article by a Capitaine Mauguin: "Les compagnies d'agriculteurs en l'an II" in the Carnet de la Sabretache, n° 347, January 1931.

Unfortunately, this year is not available at Gallica:
