A moment for a "spot of tea" on the tractor

Dear Farmer has been brewing tea.  WHY? Glad you asked!  Let me tell you...
He brews a "compost" tea to spray on the hay fields.  By spraying compost on the hay fields he is able to give the fields a healthy and fast dose of all that's good to bring the micro-organisms in the dirt to optimal health.  It's like if you or I were feeling "yucky" and we were to start taking a multi-vit...in a few weeks we'd start feeling better.  But if we were to eat right AND take the multi-vit in a few days we'd feel better.  The "compost" tea is like if we were eating right and taking a multi-vit...but for the field. Just like compost for your garden can get kinda stinky, the tea can a little too.  However, it gets really stinky because Dear Farmer adds to it liquefied fish.  Uber stinky and highly healthy-making the tea go from "good-for-field" to "WOW-for-field".  So, today Dear Farmer is driving the tractor spraying a "spot of tea" on the fields.  Making the grass grow healthy, so our cows are healthy, meaning our meat is healthier for you!
