Which symbol represents hard work and tillage of the soil?

• A. Rising Sun
• B. Plow
• C. Owl
• D. Corn

Answer: (B)

Hard work and tillage of the soil are represented by the plow because it is the tool used to turn and break up the earth in preparation for planting. Plowing symbolizes the effort, perseverance, and preparation that go into getting a field ready for crops, which are essential steps in farming and building a productive future. The rising sun often stands for a new day or hope, the owl for wisdom, and corn for the crop itself or harvest, so they don't capture the action of preparing the land through labor in the same way. The plow uniquely embodies that active, hands-on work of tilling soil.
