Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of individuals living in Appalachia, the Southern United States, the Ozarks, and later the Rocky Mountain States and the Central Valley of California. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride, depending on context.
Usage of the term redneck generally differs from hick and hillbilly, because rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while hicks and hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture. In this way, the term redneck is similar to the word cracker.

A redneck is someone who is ignorant, uneducated, white, and predudiced. They should not be confused with southerners. Rednecks are all over the country. Jeff Foxworthy makes fun of them. I grew up among them but I are not one (that was intentional)

someone whose neck is red from working long and hard hours in the sun, usually attributed to field hands, slaves, and the like. A very durogatory term.

A derogatory term for a good old boy.
Hayseed, hick, farmer (their neck gets sunburned for being outside and having short hair.)
But remember, most farmers are out standing in their fields.
