Reap

Reap is a farm without hands: the automaton harvests what is ripe and plants again. A fine, retentive automaton reads it: it harvests in the circle and replants from the same harvest — grain, wart, cocoa, berries off the bush, pumpkins and melons by the stem, the upper joints of cane and bamboo. The filter is what gets planted: a seed or the crop. The harvest goes into the load and on to a Stow.
