How did ancient farmers in their region make their land productive?
Actually, while I am not sure what region you are in, most ancient farmers tried to grow crops that were right for the climate (for example, if they were in a hot, dry climate, they grew crops that did not require a lot of water), and for other kinds of crops, they tried to locate near to a source of irrigation. Rivers were very important in ancient times-- some cultures even worshiped them. Also, even in ancient times, farmers understood the importance of tilling the soil and taking good care of their fields. Interestingly, farmers in Biblical times understood crop rotation-- every seven years, they changed to a different crop or did not use certain fields, to make sure the soil had a chance to regenerate. And while there were various insects (like locusts) that attacked the crops, we are told that farmers were still able to grow various grains and fruits.
