What's different
Both words end in m, which lets the vowel run long, so you get more vowel to listen to than in a word like hurt. Farm is a deep, open "ah". Firm is the "er" of bird, made with the jaw almost closed.
Spelling helps here. Ir, er and ur all spell the same "er" sound (firm, term, turn), while ar spells "ah" (farm, card, start), except after w, as in warm.
听辨要点
ɜː（heard）含糊、位置居中，ɑː（hard）开口大、清楚。
