Question

Which of the following was NOT a problem of New England agriculture?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

This requires a certain amount of time to remove these stones from the fields. Moreover, the soils were not fertile and the crop growing season in that area was comparatively much shorter. In addition to that, due to its geographical location, the climatic conditions prevailing in New England was not suitable for cultivation. They were able to grow only corn. So due to these factors, there were problems for cultivation in New England.

The ample production for the family was not a problem.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
