Subsistence farming
Farmers typically harvested their crops and then processed or stored them for various purposes. Many crops were sold at local markets or to wholesalers, while some were kept for personal consumption. Additionally, surplus crops could be preserved through canning or drying to ensure food availability during off-seasons. Farmers also used some crops to feed livestock or to produce biofuels.
Commercial Farmers raise their crops for this purpose.
Farmers grew cash crops primarily to generate income, as these crops are typically sold for profit rather than for personal consumption. Cash crops, such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar, often yield higher market prices compared to staple crops. Additionally, growing cash crops can help farmers invest in their operations, improve their livelihoods, and support local economies. However, reliance on cash crops can also lead to economic vulnerability due to fluctuating market demands.
