Wouldn''t you say this confirms what I have repeatedly written about re: Shemittah? Keeping the laws correctly protects the farmers. Maybe the government should learn a thing of two. To make money, KEEP Shemittah!!!!



Banana Farmer Observing Shemittah: Miracle Saved Crop

(IsraelNN.com) A secular banana farmer in the Lower Galilee, who decided to grow his crop according to the laws of the Sabbatical year of Shemittah, has declared that a miracle saved his crop from the recent cold wave, Yeshiva World News reported. His desire to register his crops with the Otzar Beit Din rather than sell his fields to a non-Jew required the farmer to agree to keep the laws of Sabbath.

The farmer, whose name was not disclosed, heard from his neighbors that the recent cold wave had destroyed their crops. He reluctantly went to inspect his fields and discovered his bananas were yellow and green instead of having turned brown from the near-zero weather. He concluded that keeping the laws of Shemittah and its accompanying obligations saved him. He called the rabbi of the organization which supervised the Otzar Beit Din and exclaimed. "A miracle has happened." The organization said neighboring farmers now have appealed to commit themselves to observing Shemittah laws.
