The Agricultural Revolution is the name given to the drastic changes in the farming process that occurred in the 1600's onwards. The spread-out, shared farms, common under the "open-field system" of cultivation, turned into more compact, but larger, farms. The many problems associated with open fields; the overgrazing of animals, difficulty in reaching consensus for change, and single herds that had led to a spread of animal diseases and uncontrollable breeding breeding; had all become generally solved (Gernhard). Farmers had discovered a crop rotation system that allowed them to forgo leaving up to half the land unused or fallow between each planting.
Most of the people in the Southeast culture did tended to be farmers, and the reasons for this are very simple:
- Climate; the climate was excellent for farming, warm and moist for most of the year, with more than enough precipitation and sunlight.
- Soil; the soil was very fertile, which was enabled by the deposits made every year by the rivers, and also because the climate was perfect for quick dissolving of the biomass which is essential for creating a fertile layer of soil.
- Water; apart from the high amount of precipitation, there's also lots of rivers in this part that were enabling that the plants can be watered all year long.
- Agricultural cultures available; the agricultural cultures that were native for this part were highly demanded and very profitable, which of course was a big stimulation for large scale farming.
