In the 1860s, farmers employed several methods to protect their crops, including crop rotation and diversification to reduce pest infestations and soil depletion. They also utilized physical barriers like fences and scarecrows to deter animals. Additionally, some farmers used natural remedies and homemade pesticides, often derived from plants, to combat pests and diseases. Finally, community cooperation, such as shared labor during planting and harvesting, helped enhance crop protection and productivity.
