First person[farmer] to observe fallen grains had sprouted and begun to grow.

9000 BC

I bet you didn't know that when Jujube was a little boy he went and picked some grains of wheat which were growing wild. As usual, when he got back to the camp, he gave the grains to his mother. She grounded them into flour between two flat stones. But no one noticed that a few of the grains fell onto the earth. Weeks later, when the family was wandering in search of food they passed by their old camp. There, as if by magic, was a little clump of green shoots. More wheat! The fallen grins had sprouted and had begun to grow.
