Ancient Greek farmers had a hard life because their land was not very good for farming, there wasn’t enough rain or fertile plains and they didn’t have good weather conditions either!
The land in ancient Greece was not very good for farming because it had a rocky soil and lack of rainfall. This made it difficult for farmers to grow crops, especially grains like wheat and barley.
The ancient Greeks did not have enough rain, so they had to use irrigation systems to water their crops.
The climate was also bad for farming because it was too hot and dry in summer, while it was cold in winter. The Greeks also had a very short growing season, which made it difficult to grow enough food.
There were not many fertile plains in ancient Greece because most of the land consisted of mountains and hillsides with rocky soil that could not be farmed easily and only grew small amounts of food plants such as olives, grapes and figs which required less water than cereals such as wheat or barley would have needed.
Farmers had two main tools they could use: a plough and a sickle. But these tools were not very good at doing their job properly, so farmers had to work hard to make sure that they got the best results from them.
