2 a : to put to graze b : to put cattle to graze on
3 : to supply herbage for the grazing of
[M-W's Col. Dic.]

I think "crop" here means to harvest which means it involves humans. Which crop is eaten in the field after being harvested?

2 stock
transitive verb
1: to make (a domestic animal) pregnant
2: to fit to or with a stock
3: to provide with stock or a stock : supply <stock a stream with trout>
4: to procure or keep a stock of <our store stocks that brand>
5: to graze (livestock) on land
[M-W's Col. Dic.]

"on land" - Where else would livestock graze other than land, in the air?

Please help me with the above questions. Thank a lot.

Thank you, Mr Micawber.

"to graze and eat in the field" - Does this definition 'let feed in a field or pasture or meadow' fit the context? Please let me know.
