When the Nile river flooded, you couldn't grow crops during that time because the farmlands were soaked in water. Most farmers worked on the pyramids during this time because they needed to pay their taxes a different way than giving a portion of their crops to the pharaoh. When the flood ended, the farmlands were moist and had a layer of soil filled with nutrients from the river on top, called silt, which fertilized the land and helped farming.
