The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
The seed is rotten - "is dried up," 'vanishes away,' from an Arabic root (Maurer). "Seed" - literally, grains. The drought causes the seeds to lose all their vitality and moisture.
The garners - granaries; generally underground, and divided into separate receptacles for the different kinds of grain.
