How can farmers sustain themselves all year with food if you can only harvest once a year?
In: Planetary Science
Modern farmers aren’t subsistence farmers. They sell their crop for money and use money to buy groceries like anybody else does.
In the past, farmers had ways to store/preserve their crops such as storing corn or wheat in silos, root cellars, canning/preserving.
They’d also grow multiple crops with different harvest times, supplement with other types of labor to make money to buy other types of foods.
