Farming in the New World seems to have developed around 10,000 years ago in the area that later became Mexico. Domestication of around 6 different wild plants produced edible crops and this idea spread northwards into what would later be the south-western USA by about 3,000 BC, or 5,000 years ago.

Among the earliest crops were a type of miniature maize without husks, producing a cob only an inch long - this is now extinct and is only known from archaeological finds.

The same way as all our ancestors did. They make a hole in the ground, throw seeds in it, close it and hope for the best.

The pilgrims thought the native Americans were uncivilized because they were different so they thought they would become like them. But the native Americans did help by teaching the Americans how they make their crops grow healthier (like planting the seeds with a dead fish so the plant can absorb the animals' nutrients and thrive). They may have also learned about the multiple uses of corn from the Native Americans.
