Take the bags of maize grown in the second season as x.

The ratio of the bags of maize in the second and first seasons is the same as the given ratio.

=> x/144 = 4/3
=> x = (144/3)*4
=> x = 48*4
=> x = 192

Now, if 192 bags were divided equally among three millers, how many will each get?

64 bags each
