First, what in the world does "all small talk in the fields was not [no
more]" mean to you? To me it is meaningless unless perhaps you're

Second, the fact that even drought-resistant plants can't grow with
absolutely no moisture is precisely the point: There was neither rain
nor a man to "work", i.e. irrigate, the ground.
