Cotton was a very nutrient-consuming crop. One would often get a terrible cotton yield if one were to use the same land for it year after year, and so often they would have to alternate certain sections and columns of their land every year so the nutrients could grow back.

Was tobacco made in the southern colony?
Tobacco was actually grow in the Southern parts of the United States, early on it was tried in the northern States but it was not very successful due to weather and soil conditions.

How did John Rolfe affect the colony?
Rolfe reacted to consumer demand by importing seed from the West Indies and cultivating the plant in the Jamestown colony. Those tobacco seeds became the seeds of a huge economic empire. By 1630, over a million and a half pounds of tobacco were being exported from Jamestown every year. The tobacco economy rapidly began to shape the society and development of the colony. Growing tobacco takes its toil on the soil. Because tobacco drained the soil of its nutrients, only about three successful growing seasons could occur on a plot of land. Then the land had to lie fallow for three years before the soil could be used again. This created a huge drive for new farmland.
