Has anyone heard of a farmer reaping an harvest without first planting a seed?
Well, i have never heard. However, there are 2 conditions that could prevent a farmer from reaping an harvest
1. If he never planted a seed in the first place.
2. If he planted the seed on the wrong soil. Well, at least he did plant a seed in this case but the only way for him to know if the soil is a wrong soil or not. Is to leave that seed there for a while.
If it those does not sprout after a particular period of time as it is expected then you know.
