i think that the lords might have made a deal with the peasants because the lords need food and drinks to live i think that the tools they used for farming were some kind of rakes and long knifes because they need them to cut the crops out of the ground to harvest them i think that the peasants grew carrots and lettuce, etc. because it is healthy and easy to grow. i also think that they had cows for milk because they need something to drink

While researching Medieval Farming, i have learned that it was very hard, they worked for their lords, and that they had some rights. First of all, i learned that farming in the medieval times was very hard. For example, it was very hard because the peasants worked from sun up to sun down. Peasants also had to make every single crop perfect or it could put their whole town to starvation. Secondly, i learned that peasants farmed for their lord. For example, peasants who farmed, were expected to give a percentage of their crops to their lord. Then the peasants got an exchange of land after giving them a percentage of their crops. Lastly, i learned that peasants did have some rights. Some of their rights were that they were free to marry. They were also free to defend themselves from things like war. Peasants also got to enjoy holy days like christmas and harvest feasts for holidays like thanksgiving. All in all, i have learned that peasants lived a life of hardship. I learned that farming was very hard for them, that they worked for their lords, and that they had some rights to be free. = 5. References = Garfield, Benjamin.
