Harvest Though No Grain

I harvest you, though you’ve no grain,
I reap you in the wind and rain,
You bleed not but your soft meat
And nectar makes a sweetest treat.
What am I?

A clam or oyster. You harvest clams or oysters on the beach or go diving, and the beach is often windy and rainy. Neither bleeds but are known for having, soft, slimy meat, and people often drink the “clam nectar” or “oyster juice”.

What is N?

6, 9, 27, 54, N, 2241

The next number in the sequence is n squared minus m or f(n,m) = n2 – m
f(6,9) = 62 – 9 = 27
f(9,27) = 92 – 27 = 54
f(27,54) = 272 – 54 = 675
f(54,675) = 542 – 675 = 2241
