The tools used were the hoe, plow, and sickle. Farmers used the three-field system, where one-third of the land was left fallow (unplanted) each year in order to restore fertility to the soil. Additionally, the open-field system left farms unfenced, with few improvements made to the land. These farming practices left no significant surplus; only enough food was made to feed the existing population.  \nDraw a picture illustrating the three-field system.  \nWord Search Puzzle  \n\n| D\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>K\u003Cbr>B\u003Cbr>O | I\u003Cbr>Y\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>H\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>P | S\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>H\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>E | P\u003Cbr>X\u003Cbr>Q\u003Cbr>F\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>S | L\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>B\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>T | A\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>H\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>I | C\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>C | E\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>W\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>I | M\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>H\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>V\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>W\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>V\u003Cbr>D | E\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E | N\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>J\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>S | T\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>X\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>Y | I\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>F\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>K\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>D | R\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>V | S\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>Z\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>E |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nAgriculture and Industry  \nThe Industrial Revolution brought machinery to farms. The use of agricultural machinery meant that fewer farm workers were needed. Displaced farm workers moved to the cities, where they found work in factories, sometimes building the very machinery that had replaced them back on the farm. This movement of displaced farm laborers to the cities is known as rural-to-urban migration.  \nGrowing populations in urban cities required farmers to grow more crops. These populations needed food  \nagriculture displacement engine experiments farming innovation labor  \nland  \nLord Townshend  \nmachinery McCormick  \nmigration pesticides population preservation research seeds surplus  \nto eat. Workers in textile factories needed raw materials, such as cotton.  \nThe Industrial Revolution and the Agricultural Revolution fed the growth of one another. For example, numerous inventions led to increases in crop production, which led to the need for food preservation, which led to new inventions and methods for preserving food (such as refrigeration), which led to the breeding of crops that were better able to withstand preservation, etc.  \n1.

Tull also introduced horse-drawn  \ncultivation, which loosened the soil and eliminated weeds.  \nAnother Englishman, Lord Townshend, began the process of crop rotation. This ended the three-field system by illustrating how planting different crops in the same field each year kept the soil from becoming exhausted just as well as leaving each field fallow every third year.  \nRobert Bakewell, yet another agriculturalist of England, introduced the practice of sto","cbCaiafNMkwMvsm2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiafNMkwMvsm2","pdf",753562,15,"English","# The Agricultural Revolution\n## Agriculture and Industry\n## Agricultural Innovations\n## Agricultural Machinery\n## Agricultural Science","[{\"question\":\"What was the three-field system and why did farmers use it?\",\"answer\":\"Farmers used the three-field system so one-third of the land was left fallow each year to restore soil fertility.
