the Black land where there was fertile soil.

Farmers Farmers usually had a family. The family

worked together to plant their crops.

wheat and barley.

Houses Most Farmers were not wealthy and lived in mud

brick houses.

Animals Animals were really important to farmers

because they helped them do jobs and plow the fields. They had goats, ducks, geese, pigs, and cows.

Seasons Farmers had three seasons. Inundation,

Emergence, and Harvest. Inundation was when the Nile flooded. Emergence was when the water receded and there was rich soil. The last is Harvest when the crops came in. They believed that the god Hapi flooded the Nile he was happy with them.

Summary Farmers worked together

with their family to pick crops. They worked together to get the things they need.
