they maybe pulled weeds so crops could grow or made holes to plant seeds
Inca farmers adapted to the rugged Andean landscape by creating terrace farming to use available land efficiently. Japanese farmers adapted to limited arable land by practicing intensive rice cultivation and by developing advanced irrigation techniques like rice paddies.
Mesopotamian farmers adapted to their environment by building irrigation systems to control the flow of water for their crops. They also developed flood management techniques to protect their fields from seasonal floods and utilized the fertile soil for agriculture. Additionally, they diversified their crops to mitigate the impact of environmental changes on their food production.
A longer growing season may allow farmers to consider growing more heat-loving crops or multiple harvests of the same crop. Changes in precipitation patterns may prompt farmers to choose drought-resistant crops or invest in irrigation systems to mitigate water stress. Overall, farmers would need to adapt their crop selection to optimize production in response to these climate conditions.
Floods could damage crops and soil, leading to significant losses for farmers. Droughts could reduce water supply for irrigation, stunting crop growth and reducing yields. Farmers built irrigation systems such as canals, wells, and dams to bring water to their fields during dry spells or invested in drought-resistant crops to adapt to the changing conditions.
Rice farmers in the Philippines have transformed the landscape by converting vast areas of land into rice paddies through terracing and irrigation systems. This has altered the natural topography of the land and resulted in a patchwork of rice fields across the countryside, especially in regions like the Cordilleras. The intensive cultivation of rice has also led to deforestation and soil erosion in some areas.

Aksum farmers build canals, dams, and holding ponds to bring mountain water to the feilds.
Traditionally Chinooks were not farmers. The land had to many trees growing in it. Chinooks hunted, fished and gathered roots and berries.
Irrigation systems helped farmers the most. They also had no-till practices and implements.
