If the questioner pays Zakat on crops, then he is not obliged to pay Zakat on the price of the crops unless it reaches the نصاب (minimum threshold) and a hawl (one lunar year) has passed. As for the debt owed by the brother, if he is solvent and not procrastinating, then Zakat on the debt is due along with the questioner's funds. But if he is insolvent or procrastinating, the questioner pays Zakat on it for one year when he receives it.
