Cultivation of commercial crops made peasants more independent of their lords. They began to pay the lords in money, and this meant that they could sell their products over a wider area, or even work off the manor for the money they needed for rent.
Even before the Black Death, serfdom was on the way out in some places, notably Scotland and England. The Black Death put sufficient value on agricultural workers to keep manors open that serfs began to have a nearly purely monetary relationship with their lords, leading to greater independence.
Their independence meant they could leave the land they were on for better opportunities elsewhere. Once that was established, they could band together and sometimes felt they had no particular reason to put up with injustice.

The differences between rice cultivation and wheat cultivation arise in the season of cultivation, the types of soil, climate and land use. Rice is sowed around May up to September, whereas wheat is sowed through the winter (September) up to (May). Rice is a grass that needs marshy and wet climates, while wheat is a grain that requires dry climates.
The growing of crops
Monoculture
Three commercial areas of horticulture are nursery production, landscaping and gardening services, and crop production.
