How to use ploughing in a sentence?

1. Frederick Douglass:

   Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

2. Frederick Douglass 1817-1895:

   If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet renounce controversy are people who want crops without ploughing the ground.

3. Zhao Tong:

   Kim’s speech ... indicates how precarious its economy is now. Coupled with the fact that it needs fertiliser for the spring ploughing, it’s no surprise that North Korea would agree to reopen its borders now.
