Farmers Plowing and their Sources


In Summer days, barley was the crop that cultivated mostly and primarily. Wheat, dates, flax, plums, applesand grapes were also grown at the time. The flooding,along with the salt deposits on the soils, made cultivation very difficult in Mesopotamia. Sheep, cattles and goats were cared out and kept mainly for the purpose of meat, milk, butter and cheese were produced from the latter years.The labours has maintained storehouses, work foremen,and harvest inchargers to feed and suplement labourers. Agricultural products were given to the temple personnel,royal people in the specific community, and small farmers.
