In the 1600s, the people of Jamestown primarily used traditional hand tools for cropping, such as hoes, shovels, and sickles, to cultivate the land. They grew staple crops like tobacco, corn, and wheat, with tobacco becoming the most significant cash crop that drove the economy. The settlers also relied on the knowledge and assistance of Indigenous peoples to adapt to the new environment and improve their agricultural practices.
