The climate of the Middle and New England colonies did not support large-scale agriculture.
Explanation:
The Souhtern and Chesapeake colonies had rich soil and temperate climates which made large-scale plantation farming possible. Both regions had an agriculture-based economy in which cash crops like tobacco, indigo, and cotton were cultivated for trade. The Middle colonies were more suitable for wheat and corn, while New England Colonies were more suitable for the production of lumber, fur and fishing.
