Yes, European settlers engaged in farming as a primary means of sustenance and economic development in the New World. They introduced various agricultural practices and crops, such as wheat, corn, and tobacco, adapted to the local environment. Settlers often cleared land and established plantations, which became integral to the colonial economy, particularly in regions like the Southern colonies. The farming practices of settlers significantly impacted indigenous populations and the landscape.
