年 nián year

Grains give birth ( shēng give birth) to new plants and after one year one can harvest these plants which are drawn as a stick ( gǔn stick).

Note: The component ( shēng give birth) looks a bit different from the original radical ( shēng give birth) and the little vertical stroke is written as the forth stroke. However, in this way the mnemonic comes the closest to the original story.
