Irrigation farmers benefited more from irrigation as it enabled them to cultivate crops consistently and support larger populations. Hunter-gatherers relied on Natural Resources and faced uncertainties in finding food sources.
Stone age irrigation systems were designed to provide water to crops in order to improve agricultural production. This helped early societies to settle in one place and establish more permanent communities. By controlling water flow, they were able to support larger populations and develop more advanced societies.
The Hohokam used a system of gravity-fed irrigation canals to direct water from the Gila River to their fields. They ingeniously designed the canals with slopes and drop structures to ensure the water flowed efficiently to where it was needed for agriculture. This sophisticated irrigation network allowed the Hohokam to thrive in the arid desert environment of present-day Arizona.
Before the steel plow, farmers used wooden plows or tools made of iron. These plows were heavier and less effective at breaking up tough soil compared to the steel plow invented by John Deere in the 19th century.
Both the Inca and Moche civilizations were skilled in engineering and construction. The Inca, like the Moche, were adept at constructing impressive irrigation systems to support agriculture in their mountainous regions.

Farmers cultivated a variety of crops with techniques such as terracing and irrigation to maximize productivity in the Andean region.

Producers in the southwestern United States must use irrigation most of the time to raise crops, simply because, most of the time, there's insufficient moisture, without irrigation, to raise and produce crops. So the answer to this question is no.

The original product benefitted farmers with mule-drawn plows since they tended to clog less.
Poor people and immigrants did not benefit while large business and rich people did
The people who benefited the most in the colonies from mercantilism were cash crop growers, such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar farmers throughout the New World since they had a constant and massive market for their products. A secondary group that benefited indirectly from mercantilism were smugglers since their entire business sprung up as a way to circumvent the mercantilist restrictions on trade. Smuggling was very lucrative.
