So, military press and facepulls are most effective at hitting the rear delts? I am inclinced to try the reverse fly machine but I haven't used a machine in over a year, and like to keep this record going.
I loved reading that.
You're the only bloke I've read thinking that, and I reckon farmers are a great way to develop the shoulders, I would go as far as to say that this is one of a handful of premium exercises.

Yeah I find reverse fly either using DB's, cables or a machine can hit the rear delts pretty well depending how you do the exercise, it is very easy to turn the rear felt exercise into a back exercise.
^^ exactly, cables are awesome for rear delts, i find not overdoing the weight helps to isolate the rear delt otherwise you compensate with other muscles. just up the reps

The trick with these is to keep the shoulder back, as opposed to hunched forward.
Don't shrug the shoulder when fatigued.
When turning, use one handle nudge the other to cause momentum.
It's easier to turn using DB's.
Wrap the thumb over the first two fingers when holding the handle.
I think what makes farmers walk so effective is that that unlike other exercises such as squats and dead lifts, your body is moving over a distance and carrying a load for a greater length of time rather than just standing in one spot.

Yeah, there is a lot to be said for ISO-lateral movement, this is why lunges are the craze, you get mobility and stability at the hip, but we don't like lunges I don't see the benefit with extremely heavy weight.
I think a beginner could possible cut their teeth on the lunge, then leave them in the dirt, to go onto the walk, but then again may as well just start walking?
I think squatting Leg-pressing or deadlifting and farmer's are no brainers.
