Hoes Stopped Working In Realm

I am reopening a new issue, since Mojang in its zeal to close issues, resolved an issue that was not resolved. I would suggest, in the future, that Mojang support resources read the issue before responding. The response to the prior issue does not demonstrate much commitment to customer support, and I am not a happy camper after that response.

As a paid customer, I deserved better treatment.

Recently, all variants of hoes have stopped working in my Minecraft realm. This issue affects both modded and un-modded 26.3 versions.

Dirt blocks on former farmland, even those that directly border a water block cannot be hoed and turned into farmland.

New farmland cannot be created.

Hoes work in single user games.

Hoes do not work in this realm (2024 World).

This issue appears to be related to the realm itself, since it occurs on multiple machines, and affects both Windows PC and Macbooks.

The attached screenshot shows four dirt blocks in a row, near water, formerly farmland, that cannot be hoed.
