This is because mountains have very thin soils that make growing crops very difficult to impossible. You're better off raising livestock on mountains than sowing crops.
That depends on where the valley or plain is. Possibly valleys are better they are more protectected than plains and can have micro climates that are different from the general local climate. Open plains are more exposed to the weather.
In the Philippines, common agricultural crops cultivated on the plains and valleys include rice, corn, sugarcane, coconut, and various fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and pineapples. The specific crops grown can vary by region based on climate, soil type, and other environmental factors.
Most crops tend to perform the best in valleys, due to the more stable climate and topography. There are some crops that are still grown in their natural mountain habitat, such as trees for lumber and a US Pacific Northwest treat, huckleberries. But most of what we would consider usual crops will do best on relatively flat land with a temperate or warm climate.
It depends, there are all sorts of reasons. Volcanic soil is very fertile for example. Also, valleys are formed by water running through then drying up. Valleys would have all the minerals from the water in it's soil, making it richer.
Farmers in South China grow crops in lowland areas, river valleys, and along the coastal plains. Important crops include rice, tea, citrus fruits, and vegetables. Agriculture in South China also takes advantage of the region's subtropical climate and abundant rainfall.

They raise crops only in the small valleys found between the mountain ranges.
Women took care of crops in the Great Plains.
Wheat is able to withstand drought better than corn and some other crops!Wheat became as important to the great plains as cotton become to the South!

A surplus in crops
The farmers terrace the mountain side so they can plant crops or they have herd animals to roam the area they live. Mountains also have valleys and often they live in the valley.
