Should black get all points from fields? I see 4 farmers (black) VS 2 (red).

According to the log:
The field adjacent to 5 completed cities is worth 15 points
Black scores 15 points with a majority of 3 farmer(s)
The field adjacent to 2 completed cities is worth 6 points
Red scores 6 points with a majority of 1 farmer(s)
The field adjacent to 3 completed cities is worth 9 points
Black scores 9 points with a majority of 1 farmer(s)
Black didn't get all points, they got 24, red got 6. The only field where both players competed had 3 black meeples and 1 red.

I agree with you, PER THE LOG.
If I look at the JPG, black has 4 VS 2 red farmers. <-- would not let me upload.

Which JPG?
Points are scored per field, the total number of farmers does not matter, only the farmers on EACH FIELD separately. If red had 20 farmers in the isolated left-most field (with no cities), the score would have been the same.

It would not let me upload JPG (I should have edited the post).
Final results showing game board is the same as the JPG I have.
I believe they are all on the same field.

And if I remember it correctly, it was:
One field with 3 black and 1 red, worth 15 points
One field with 1 black and 0 red, worth 9 points
One field with 0 black and 1 red, worth 6 points
So yes, 4 black and 2 red, and the points are correct. You can upload an image to imgur to show what you think is wrong.

When you look closely you will realize that the field with the rightmost black farmer does not connect with the large field with the other 3 black farmers.
If two cities meet at a corner the fields end there and do NOT continue between these cities...

I'm pretty sure at least one version of the printed rules explains that due to printing variance the grass may look like it touches diagonally at a corner, but it never counts as touching for game play. At least that is an understandable mistake. For a digital implementation it should never be shown as touching, so believing it does is just a misunderstanding of the rules.
