***********************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

STEP 1 : REVERSE AND ACTUAL POSITION +2

HARVEST = TSEVRAH

T →(+2) → 22

S → (+2) → 22

E → (+2) → 7

V →(+2) → 23

R →(+2)→ 20

A → (+2) → 3

H → (+2) → 10

SIMILARLY

FARMER  = REMRAF

R →(+2) → 20

E → (+2) → 7

M → (+2) →15

R →(+2) → 20

A →(+2)→ 3

F → (+2) → 8
