Well if an entire agrarian nation doesn't plant in one year... will most of them not die? How can they resolve this?
Crop rotation maybe... store up some food maybe... no the Bible says not to do that.
Say what you want about Biblical Authors but they said this Leviticus 25:20
You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.
Now what bronze age agrarian people would accept this upon themselves?
Food for thought.
AGAIN, I will address this.
You're using this stupid farming thing as evidence for the bible being true. However, there is absolutely no evidence of this ever happening except... in the bible. So if you accept the bible as a factual, accurate source, only then will this story be evidence for you.
Furthermore, you're using the fact that they endure hardships for their beliefs as evidence that their beliefs are true. So why not accept the hardships of people of countless other religions as evidence for their religions?
