Christ is the firstfruit. Let such a person, whether a farmer or a teacher, come to Jesus at the first opportunity he/she has (in every circumstance).

That is a grave mistake that you have made there subjecting yourself to learning from the majority.
Jesus Christ warned that His followers seek to learn from Him and only Him. As a follower of Jesus Christ, your trust should be in no-man... no flesh and blood, but only in God through Jesus Christ.

Matthew 23 vs 8-12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.[c]
9. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.
11. The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
* Thou shalt have for yourself no other Teacher, except Jesus Christ(through the Spirit of God living inside of you).
* Thou shalt have for yourself no other father, except for the one Father who is in Heaven.

The first fruit offering had to do with the Old Covenant laws. There are no such offerings stipulated as part of the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ.
The passages below present information as it relates to the first fruit offering described as part of the Old Covenant. Read carefully to understand exactly what God commanded and why.

Exodus 22 vs 29-30(ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29. “At harvest time you should give me the first grain and the first juice from your fruit. Don’t wait until late in the year.
“Give me your firstborn sons.

30. Also, give me your firstborn cattle and sheep. Let the firstborn stay with its mother for seven days. Then on the eighth day, give him to me.
Note that the firstfruits had nothing to do with money.

Exodus 23 vs 19(ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. “When you gather your crops at harvest time, you should bring the first of everything you harvest to the house[a] of the Lord your God. “You must not eat the meat from a young goat that is boiled in its mother’s milk.”
The people of Israel( I should say the farmers) were to bring their first fruits to Tent of agreement, where the Priests(descendants of Aaron) were to offer those gifts as burnt sacrifices to God. Whatever was not burnt, they, the priests, could eat, in a holy place.
Those who brought their firstborn sons vowed them to God(another set of laws apply there).

Numbers 18 vs 1-30(ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and all the people in your father’s family must bear the responsibility for any wrong that is done against the holy place or against the priests.
2. To prevent that from happening, you must bring the rest of the men from the tribe of Levi to join you. These Levites will help you and your sons do your work in the Tent of the Agreement.
3. These Levites will be under your control. They will do all the work that needs to be done in the Tent. But they must not go near the things in the Holy Place or the altar. If they do, they will die—and you also will die.
4. They will join you and work with you. They will be responsible for caring for the Meeting Tent. All the work that must be done in the Tent will be done by them. No one else may come near the place where you are.

5. “You are responsible for caring for the holy place and the altar. I don’t want to become angry with the Israelites again.
6. I myself chose the Levites from among all the Israelites. They are as a gift to you. I gave them to you to serve the Lord and work in the Meeting Tent.
7. But, Aaron, only you and your sons may serve as priests. You are the only ones who can go near the altar or behind the curtain into the Most Holy Place. I am giving you a gift—your service as a priest. Anyone else who tries to come too close must be killed.”

8. Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself gave you responsibility over all the special gifts people give to me. All the holy gifts that the Israelites give to me, I give to you. You and your sons can share in these gifts. They will always belong to you.
9. The people will bring gifts, grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. These offerings are most holy. Your share in the most holy offerings will come from the parts that are not burned. All these things will be for you and your sons.
10. Eat these things only in a very holy place. Every male in your family may eat them, but you must remember that these offerings are holy.

11. “The Israelites will bring special gifts that you will lift up to me. I give these gifts to you and your sons and daughters. That is your share. Everyone in your family who is clean will be able to eat it.

12. “And I give you all the best olive oil and all the best new wine and grain. These are the things that the Israelites give to me, the Lord. These are the first things that they gather in their harvest.
13. When the people gather a harvest, they bring all the first things to the Lord. So these things I will give to you. And everyone in your family who is clean may eat it.

14. “Anything in Israel that is a special gift to God[a] is yours.

As for the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ, there are no First fruit offerings stipulated, and also no priests to give any such to.
