Skill measured by the challenge

We're recommended to choose the "hard and stony" ground to sow in; what are the implications? What would happen if we only chose to sow in soft ground?
I ask of God that thou, His husbandman, shalt plough the hard and stony ground, and water it, and scatter seeds therein—for this will show how skilful is the farmer, while any man can sow and till where the ground is soft, and clear of brambles and thorns.
