Why Is Farming Important In Medieval Times

Have you ever wonder who, where, when and how farming was in the medieval times? Farming is a process of making food and raising animals to make money. Farming in medieval times was different than present day farming.
There were two levels of people who did farming, peasant and lords or priest. Peasants were farmers who don’t have a lot of freedom like marry or sell. Lords or priest had freedom.
These are the months they did farming. January & February was the time to work indoors repairing hunting nets, sharpening the tools, making utensils, but on mild days, they work outdoors gather firewood, prune vines and mend fences. March, they did work in the fields, plowing and cultivating. In April, they would clean ditches, pruning trees, fixing

sheds, hauling timber, and repairing roofs. May was time for sheep cleaning and shearing, planting and field maintenance. June, you’re mowing hay and raking it into piles. July, you’re harvesting grains, bundling sheaves, weeding gardens. August, you’re threshing and winnowing of grains, grinding grains into flour. September, you had fruits picked and dried or stored, grapes picked and pressed for juice and wine. October was gather nuts, roots, berries, and mushrooms. Fields plowed and empty fields sown with winter wheat, repairing and cleaning equipment. November, you’re are getting firewood gathered, split, and stacked for themselves and the lord, pigs and cows slaughtered and meat smoked, flax and hemp processed to make thread and rope. December, you are trimming trees, grape vines pruned, and hunting.
In medieval times, you had no machines. You used animals to help you grow crops and give you food. You also used tools to help animals and do crops. One tool was a plough.A plough is like a plow but pulled by cows or horses.It was used to plow the ground and was hook to cattle. Another was a scythe.A scythe is a stick with a blade. It cut wheat.
Medieval times were different than present day, but farming does not have a lot of differents. Without farming, people would become weak. Farming is important right now just like in Medieval times.
