All the crops they require spring up unsown and untilled, wheat and barley and vines with generous clusters that swell with the rain to yield wine. |

These are questions the Author would surely resent, but had they been answered they might have been more engaging than these fertile but unsown ruminations. |

This approach is also being taken in a cooperative project run by nature conservationists and the farmers' union in Germany where farmers are encouraged to leave bare, unsown patches in their fields for skylarks. |
