Etymology
農 combines 曲 (a plow or field pattern) with 辰 (a shell used as a tool, associated with labor), together suggesting agricultural work.
Meaning mnemonic
The top 曲 looks like a plow turning the soil, and the bottom 辰 suggests a tool or labor. Together they show farming: agriculture and the farmers who do the work.
Reading mnemonic
For ノウ, imagine a farmer saying 'No!' to bad weather: No -> ノウ, as they protect their crops.
