Commentary for Rosh Hashanah 15:11

והתנן באחד בניסן ר"ה למלכים ואמרינן למאי הלכתא ואמר רב חסדא לשטרות

But how then does the other [R'Eleazar] account for the words, the valleys are covered with corn? - That refers to the early ones, whose conception takes place in Adar. Now according to R'Meir, there is no difficulty; the text says, 'The rams mount the sheep', to wit at the time when 'the valleys are covered with corn', but there are some also [which do not conceive till] they shout aloud and sing'.
