I don’t even know if seed would have been available back then year round, and for something like that “lifetime supply” would be what you used and handed out during planting season.
But seed isn’t cheap, I don’t think someone would have made up that story if they knew how unbelievable it was. There’s no way he could just grab a 20 pound bag of seed every month. That’s close to $100 today for just grass, not even crops.
And even if it was pre-tractor and done with a horse/donkey…
Most farmers would be getting them so close to perfectly straight this would have been impossible to judge.
He didn’t say 20 pounds. He said 20 bags. Could have been any size.
I’m imagining those sachets that you get seeds in these days… 20 of them with 3g of grass seed in each.
WraithGearI mean, it was a reward for plowing a straight row at a fair. That seems like a fitting and generous reward imo. And still makes the dude a good neighbor.
