Growing cash crops like tobacco and cotton overworked the land.
widespread famine and starvation
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.
A virus epidemic caused by severe drought, rodents, and close-quartered workiing conditions for growing wheat introduced by the Spaniards.
Farmers in the northeast face challenges like shorter growing seasons, harsher winters, and limited water availability. The region's climate and soil conditions make it harder to cultivate a wide variety of crops compared to more temperate areas. Additionally, pest and disease pressures can also be higher in this region.
In parts of the world where there is a defined growing season, and a defined non-growing season, no. But, in other parts of the world, where growing conditions are favorable pretty well all year round, yes. But, even in these parts, there are times when sugarcane cannot be grown, like during severe drought conditions.
For several reasons, soil exhaustion, farmers growing crops for hundreds of years, over time it became more difficult for farmers to produce enough food to support the population
Because new plants (plantlets) would require water immediately to survive, where as seed can lie dormant until it rains (the drought is broken) and the seed can germinate and form new plants. It's a matter of conserving resources.
