History of agriculture in the United States

Agriculture in the United States is the way farmers grow crops and raise animals for food and other things we use. It has been around for a long time. The earliest settlers in the United States grew crops like corn, squash, potatoes, and beans. They also raised animals like chickens, pigs, horses, and cows. As time went on, more and more people moved to the United States, so farmers had to grow bigger and bigger crops to feed all the people. They also had to find better ways to raise animals and grow crops. Over the years, farmers learned more and more about how to raise animals and grow crops to make them even better. Today, many farmers use big machines to help them grow their crops, and they also use computers to help them keep track of the animals they raise. Agriculture in the United States has come a long way since the early settlers!
