Okay Letter-of-the Laws, exactly how many crops were yielded in Matt 13:8? How could it be exactly 30, exactly 60, and exactly a hundredfold?

“8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Matt 13 is the Parable of the Sower
Parable - a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson
Since parables are illustrating truth, no exact doctrine can come from them.
30,60, & 100 merely shows the magnitude of how great God can multiply the seed of the Gospel we sow, making the fruit He brings forth in us wonderfully great.
