Yeah, the European settlers in the Americas were pretty bad at doing agriculture. Reading accounts of the early colonists observing native agriculture is kinda entertaining; it's all stuff like "OMG guys they're producing so much food! How are they doing this while we're literally starving over here, their corn ears are enormous!"
tbf corn is a heavy feeder and hard to grow, but yeah, only because we foolishly gave up on any kind of traditional methods.
ancient civilizations arising every time they get good at growing corn
my dumb ass trying to grow corn
My condolences on your maize troubles. I don't have the space for it :(
Well it's also a tropical grass they were growing as far north as New York, so they were well outside the native bioregion.
