It won't be long before we start to look forward to our season of Thanksgiving, but when we look at the farm fields (at least in our area) we can't help but give thanks for the blessings we keep getting on a daily basis.
I spent the first 20 years of my life as a farmer but have spent the last 70 years as a farm boy that never lost his love for farming. I think that it is a lot easier having grown up on the farm-depending on the lord to provide the rain, sunshine and all of our daily needs, answering our prayers when adversity came out way-then it is for you who, by the grace of God, received these same gifts and blessings and became strong Christians.
As farmers or former farmers we know that what you sow, so shall you reap. Plant good seed and the harvest will respond likewise!
We also know that if you don't plant any seed at all, nothing will grow but weeds!
My whole point comes down to this-the fields are out there, as Christians we have our instructions, the word of God is our seed, the demand is great, the return on investment is awesome and the pure (not scientifically altered) seed is free.

Now is the time to sow that seed and watch it sprout, grow and multiply into a bountiful harvest. As we see the results of our efforts, our hearts will jump for joy! So you see we can all be farmers of a sort even if it's only in our hearts.
God bless you and praise God from whom all blessings flow.
