Slide 3@4. Modern uses of farming is more precise and technical than the ancient times. Now a days we use mechanical tractors and other tools that make it less backbreaking work. Also we no longer use animals. Also, our land size can expand by a lot, it only depends on they amount of money you are willing to pay. Plus, instead of paying your taxes in grain and vegetables you pay it in money or currency. Lastly, usually farmers grew what they can make money off of, or they love to eat.

In my opinion, the purpose of farming was that people could have a hobby and a surplus of food in just months. Also, it could make for very easy trades. Plus, the slaves and animals could make a huge impact for there use. In addition, people would be more fit from eating healthy and working out. Lastly, it takes pure skill to be a great farmer
