Context of Deuteronomy 11:15
13Now, if you pay close attention to my commandments that I am giving you today and love the Lord your God and serve him with all your mind and being, 14then he promises, “I will send rain for your land in its season, the autumn and the spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine, and olive oil. I will provide pasture for your livestock and you will eat your fill.” 16Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods! 17Then the anger of the Lord will erupt against you and he will close up the sky so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed from the good land that the Lord is about to give you.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 15-1715-17. I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle--Undoubtedly the special blessing of the former and the latter rain [De 11:14] was one principal cause of the extraordinary fertility of Canaan in ancient times. That blessing was promised to the Israelites as a temporal reward for their fidelity to the national covenant [De 11:13].
