What is double cropping in the western wheat country?
Double cropping in the western wheat country is the practice of following a wheat crop right after it is harvested in June with another crop, such as soybeans, and harvesting that second crop before it is time to sow the next wheat crop.
Les explains that double cropping is a present-day, limited example of the continuous planting and harvesting that will be universal in the Kingdom. In the western wheat country, after the wheat crop is taken off in June, farmers may follow it with soybeans and harvest them before it is time to sow the next wheat crop. In the coming Kingdom, this cycle will be constant—planting and harvesting repeatedly—but without the sweat and toil, weeds, insects, fungus, and molds that hinder crop production today. This aligns with the prophecy that the plowman shall overtake the reaper.
