Tobacco, grown from seeds stolen from the Spanish, was the cash crop that saved the first permanent English settlement in the New World from extinction and ultimately came to dominate economic development in the Southern colonies.

Most historians name the fields near Fort Snelling, established in 1819, and farms along the Red River, established in 1821, as the two earliest centers of Euro-American farming.

We found that the use of two major inputs—land and labor—decreased over time. Between 1982 and 2007, land used in agriculture dropped from 54 to 51 percent of total U.S. land area, while farming used 30 percent less hired labor and 40 percent less operator labor.

Crops could be replanted. Buildings could be rebuilt. Many planters had held on to their land. Others worked their way out of debt and gained their land back.

One is that in times of abundance humans had the leisure to start experimenting in the domestication of plants. The other theory suggests that in lean times – thanks to population growth, over-exploitation of resources, a changing climate, et cetera – domestication was a way to supplement diets.

It is said that when they eat fruits from the trees then they threw the seed and then trees and plants started to grow. By seeing that early humans learn to grow plants and agriculture came into the existence.

Throughout generations, plants have been a beautiful medium through which we can learn some of life’s valuable lessons…

The answer was no. The purpose of that patch of oats was manure mitigation. The waste that had been sprayed on that field came from a hog confinement operation, and oats were the only crop that would put such concentrated, nearly toxic manure to nutritional use and do it quickly.

But farmers also use many other rotation systems, with wheat being the most common “other” crop included in rotations with corn and soybeans. While 82 to 94 percent of most crops are grown in some sort of rotation, conservation crop rotations that incorporate cover crops remain rare.
