Seeding: they have a triangle with nails sticking out of the bottom of the bord and you drag that across the ground as well
Harvesting: they used a scythe to chop down the crops
Difficulties:lots of the methods didn't work because there was to many roots and rocks.Durring the winter frost ruined all of the methods because there would be lots of frost and perma frost
Expectations:The pionners expected to feed there family and sell there crops on markets so they can buy other stuff like cloths and other needed objects to survive in the worldness. They also had to feed there animals with food they grow. They have to do most of there farming was done in the summer because in the winter there is snow and perma frost and you cant plow or harvest in that weather.
