Detailed explanation-1: -Native corn became the most important grain for English colonists although they also planted European crops of wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Detailed explanation-2: -As Jamestown tobacco became more popular in England, more tobacco plantations were planted in Jamestown and surrounding areas. Tobacco became so important, that it was used as currency, to pay taxes, and even to purchase slaves and indentured servants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Colonists only grew corn and wheat for use by their families. Other crops were grown, but mostly for individual consumption. As Virginia’s Piedmont became more populated during the 19th century, the area became a major tobacco producer.
