2. What role did agriculture play in the early American colonies? 3. Explain the differences between the orange industry in California and Florida.

4. Why might a rancher plant several varieties of grass for grazing on the same ranch?

Agriculture in the first American colonies was much different than agriculture today.

2-Some of the most popular foods harvested in the early American colonies included corn, tobacco, wheat, and cotton. Methods of production were often adopted from Native American techniques, as many settlers found that their traditional ways of farming were not as effective in the New World. The farmers had to learn how to live off the land, and not all of their tried and true methods worked well on the new, American ground. The food farmers provided the animals was generally fairly minimal during the winter months, until spring came around and farmers relied heavily on spring vegetation to fatten them up again.

3-California Oranges: California's climate is very arid with very little average rainfall. Florida Oranges: The oranges that thrive in Florida do so in a dry, wetter climate. A   significant part Florida's oranges are used for juicing. The peels are usually thinner, and the oranges are simpler to consume.Florida oranges typically last 2-3 weeks when refrigerated.

4-Although it is ideal for grazing cattle, growing a variety of forage plants in the field often supports plants, soil and the climate. Most of their grazing time, grazing animals make choices about what to eat for every bite. Growing several plant species in the same area at the same time, polyculture, is the standard in pasture grazing scenarios. Polyculture systems give farmers a kind of 'insurance policy.' By mixing multiple species-and even different varieties-in polyculture, the pasture of the producer is best protected from a range of inclement conditions. The diversity of plants in polyculture decreases the probability that some form of plant will not feed the animals of the farmers.

Explanation:

the Americans were not native enough.
