Is the land good for farming?
It depends how the land is. If the land is rocky, then of course you know it's not a good place for farming because there's no soil to plant crops with. If the land is kind of grassy, you might be able to plant your crops, and settle there.
How did the geography of the southern colonies help the colonists?
The geography of the Southern Colonies included large forests and miles upon miles of fertile farmland. This allowed the colonists to engage in the timber trade and fur trade as well as develop large plantations. Since the western portion of each Southern Colony bordered the ocean, it made it easy for them to export lots of tobacco, cotton, furs, and timber to England.
Why can't some areas be used for crops?
It's all to do with the soil. If the soil is too sandy, rocky, clayey, acidic, alkaline, saline, or shallow, then it's not good for crops. Topography also plays a big role: steep, rolling hills or mountain sides are not good for driving the tractor on! Many areas are also protected by private landowners, state/provincial law, or federal law so that they maintain their natural existence without having to be subject to the plow. Many areas that are not protected, in the author of this answer's opinion, and are turned into crops, should be reverted back to grassland or natural habitat to improve and maintain the integrity of the land.

What was the geography climate of new york colony?
New York's climate was much the same as it is today. See the related question for that description. The terrain was very swampy near the coast and the Hudson river. Further North were mountains covered with many forests. The ground was rocky though the soil was good for farming once it was cleared of rocks and trees. The Middle Colonies also had many great rivers and harbors (used to develop trade with the western areas within their own colonies as well as with the other American colonies and England). The farmland was fertile which contributed to the many small, family-owned farms.
