Although the Bible says 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap', it doesn't always work that way. Have you seen situations where work has been rewarded by good harvests? On the other hand, have you seen people's efforts come to nothing?
Share your literal and metaphorical bounty with us. Tell us about harvests, the people who gather them, and the times things go wrong.

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
