sowers
Those who broadcast
Sowers are people who scatter seeds over land for planting.
The term extends to anyone who spreads or disseminates something: sowers of discord, sowers of doubt.
The biblical proverb about reaping what you sow gives the word moral weight—sowers initiate consequences they will eventually face.
