Anytime somebody says "farming" I'm going to show up like a Genie. So, Deist, bushes and shrubs could be considered plants of the field, sure. Not all of them, but fruit bearing ones, why not. Since we're on the subject of farming, and Statler wants to waffle on about cultivated plants, I can tell you that god most definitely did not create "the plants which require cultivation". Only one group of plants require cultivation, agricultural crops. These crops were bred by human beings from wild cultigens in many different areas of the world (though most of what we eat today is from the Middle East and the Americas). They did not exist at the time that our species first appears. In fact, we lived without them for all but the last 10,000-4,500 years of our 195,000 years here. So now we're talking seriously long days aren't we, and taking wild liberties with the word "created". What part of the USDA do you work for anyway Statler?
