    This is winter wheat (grows a bit slower).

    He will harvest the crop

    with a sickle to chop

    it down. (No one’s invented the mower.)

    The thought brought joy to Steve’s heart: Miles of nothing as far as the eye can see, and it was all his.

    The dog is the only one that can figure out that you plow and seed the same area of land.

    You’re lucky, you just squat anywhere, there isn’t a bush for forty acres.

    The rocks in fields break plows. My dad welded many of farmers equipment. New England fences were built because there were so many rocks…

    “Super-sow-mo and Instant-reap-play” is the best line ever! Great job Steve.

    What distinction of being a Dane/

    is a difficult one to attain/

    For it plainly includes/

    Many long interludes/

    Of plodding the pluvious plain..///

    “Pluvious” means pertaining to rain:

    It’s usage is long on the wane/

    It’s the kind of a word/

    That is now seldom heard/

    But may be returning again..///

    A Sower

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Paintings of horse-drawn plows" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Brave search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string KMS753, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed using the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3409 (November 12, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.

    ♫ John Deere,

    Oh, how I hate to write,

    John Deere

    Your crops are strickent with the blight

    All your crops have surely died

    Like your lawn, and what I fear

    Is tonight, you’ll lose another,

    John Deere. ♫

    Johnson couldn’t shake the feeling that any crop called “Maui Wowie” wasn’t going to grow very well in these parts.
