Nifty features a lot of stories with arable characters.

 

Would this be a parable for arable?

I think I read about this in a book titled Plowboys.  Oh, and glitter was optional.

From the Latin arabilis, fit to be plowed.

In use, it distinguishes farmland as opposed to pasture.

The Mississippi Delta is famous for three things: arable lands with soil that can grow almost anything, the Blues, and unless you are used to it, summer heat and humidity that is indescribable.

They are our state bird. You have to keep moving or swarms of them will carry you off.

He's right. Skeeters hunt with their sense of smell. The smellier you are, the more they'll swarm you.
