Answer :
The factor that made the biggest difference about the way
agriculture affected the economies of the colonies is the climate. Climate
played a pivotal role as far as agriculture was concerned in the colonies. If
the climate was dry and scarcity of water was evident, then it would be tough
on agriculture. If the climate was suitable and the amount of water available
for agriculture was enough, then cultivation flourished and people not only
grew food for themselves, but they could also sell the excess foods they
generated.
