The comma is omitted in the second example because the second clause does not have its own subject and cannot stand alone.

In the field many people are harvesting their crops.Can i omit the comma after prepositional phrase or i have to put it right away after prepositional phrase?
Say the sentence aloud and note whether you naturally pause after the word 'field'. If you do, you need a comma. If you don't, you don't need a comma. Personally I would not put a comma (or, 'Personally, I would not put a comma'). If it's your sentence it's your choice (or, 'If it's your sentence, it's your choice').
Should there be a comma after Inc?
I have researched this question and the answer is- yes or no. It seems that either is correct. Historically a comma was used- Company Name, Inc. but according to the Chicago Style Manual it is acceptable to omit the comma. Note as well, that if in a sentence- Company Name, Inc., was providing.... a comma is used AFTER the Inc. as well. OR you can just leave out both. Is it a wonder that learning English punctuation is so difficult? ---Great answer! I tend to omit the comma if using the Company Name in a title, but if used in a sentence I leave it in...just my preference. :)
Do you use a comma after the word from?

When do you place a comma before the word 'and' in a sentence?
There are two situations in which I would use a comma before the word "and." 1) When three or more things are mentioned in a series: apples, bananas, and oranges. This is called the series comma. It is used in American style more often than in UK style. But it is also correct to omit the series comma in US style. 2) In a compound sentence, which is two complete sentences joined by "and" (or another conjunction, such as "but" or "or"): I went to visit my parents, and they were very happy to see me. If the two sentences that make up the compound sentence are short and closely connected, the comma can be left out: Stand up and state your name.
