Which seasonal farm worker is always outstanding in their field, even though they have zero brains?
A scarecrow
This riddle uses a classic double-entendre where standing out in a field literally means being physically located outside in the crops, while also describing someone who is exceptionally talented. Because this straw-stuffed figure is literally built right in the middle of the farm, the humorous phrase fits perfectly.
