IMPROVED ANSWER:
It was very difficult for those who lived in the New England Colonies to grow anything from the soil. If anyone was able to grow any type of crop, they would just grow enough for their family to eat.
New England Colonists mostly depended on lumber, fishing, and whaling for their financial support. |
Farming in the New England Colonies was very difficult because of the rocky soil. It was the least fertile out of all colonies, and because of this, farmers practiced a system called "subsistence farming." Since they could barely grow any crops, they had to use the system to grow JUST enough food for themselves, and sometimes a little extra to trade in town.
