Question

Describe the climate of the New England colonies and how this climate affected agricultural production and farming. Identify how the New England economy thrived, even with little agricultural production.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The climate of New England is generally full of extended cold winter and mild summer. The vegetation is also considered rocky and near to water bodies, thereby not supportive of large scale farming. However, the colonists in New England have only managed to farm for family consumption only.

2. The New England economy thrived, even with little agricultural production because it was based majorly on fishing, lumbering, and commercial shipping construction and trade
