 CASH CROPS

the crop receive cash, means from a person who buys it. Cash Crops are

SHORT HISTORY ON CASH CROPS

When our ancestors first learned about agriculture, they grew wheat, rice, or
potatoes - depending on what part of the world they were in. It wasn't long before
farmers realized they could grow a lot more food than they actually needed.
Surplus was bartered for pottery or some other craft, maybe even initiating the
first economies. Extra crops (cash crops) also meant that craftsmen didn't need to
be farmers or worry about getting their own food. Cash crops enabled the first
governments, too, because they allowed many people to live in a small area
together without everyone needing to worry about getting food.
