First settlers arrived in Virginia in 1607.They grew tobacco as their cash crop.American farmers grew tobacco for profit.The average farmer owned between 100 and
300 acres of land.The owning a lot of land was
important because land stood for wealth and power.
Colonial Farming

For many years, tobacco was George Washington’s main crop.
However, tobacco was labor intensive to produce and quickly depleted the soil of valuable nutrients.
The field then had to lay empty for an estimated 20 years to regain the nutrients necessary to support agriculture.
Washington felt this was a wasteful approach to farming. In the mid-1760s, Washington began to experiment with
growing wheat. Although he continued to grow some tobacco, by the
early 1770s, wheat had become Washington’s primary cash crop.
Tobacco to Wheat

Cradlers cut the wheat in the field.Rakers gathered the cut wheat.Shockers tied the wheat into
bundles.Conners stacked the bundles before
it was carted to a barn.
