The Mississippi River was crucial in facilitating the transportation of crops from the South to other regions, making it easier for farmers to sell their products and boosting the economy of the South. Additionally, river ports allowed for the importation of goods, fostering trade and providing access to a wider variety of products in the South.
People in the South primarily used water transportation, such as rivers and steamboats, to transport their crops and goods. Cotton, for example, was often shipped via riverboats to larger markets. Additionally, some goods were transported by wagon or railroads for longer distances within the region.
Rivers provide water for irrigation, allowing farmers to grow crops even in dry seasons. Additionally, rivers help transport nutrients and sediment to farmlands, enriching the soil and promoting crop growth. In some cases, rivers also serve as a means of transportation for farmers to move their harvest to markets or processing facilities.
The major crops in the deep south were cotton, tobacco, rice, and sugar cane. These crops were grown in large plantations and played a significant role in the region's economy during the antebellum period.
Farmers in South China grow crops in lowland areas, river valleys, and along the coastal plains. Important crops include rice, tea, citrus fruits, and vegetables. Agriculture in South China also takes advantage of the region's subtropical climate and abundant rainfall.
The development of irrigation systems and water management techniques allowed crop growing further from rivers by providing a controlled and reliable source of water to crops. Improved transportation systems also played a role in enabling crops to be grown farther from rivers by facilitating the transportation of goods to market. Additionally, advancements in farming technology, such as the use of machinery and fertilizers, increased efficiency and productivity in agriculture, allowing for the cultivation of crops in more diverse locations.

If they flood they could damage the crops because farmers their plant crops close to the rivers so they get the water
Major crops include Citrus, Deciduous Fruits, Corn, Wheat, Dairy Products, Sugarcane, Tobacco, Wine, and Wool

Before the railroads were built, farmers had to haul their crops on wagons. This was one reason the farmers who wanted to export part of their crops settled near rivers or near the Atlantic ocean.
The rivers were used for fishing, transportation, baths, and drinking water. Also for trading.
The crops in the South were cash crops and crops in the North were consumable crops.

the rivers flood and that means the soil is open to farm and grow crops.
Because when the rivers flood then the farmer's crops can get water and they can grow.
