Post by: lengjacinto on Feb 26, 2013
You are a farmer in the year 1859. With approximate accuracy, please describe what happens when you don?t have the money to buy seed to plant crops.

You hunt for your meat, plant a garden and hire out as a farm hand to the neighbors until you can scratch together some seed.  Or get some credit at the local general store.

Same as now.  You find work elsewhere.  Other people would need help planting their crops, etc.  So you work, save your money, try to find a way out.

Most people will fight real hard to stay alive when they don't have a safety net.

Or you began your life as a sharecropper, buying seed, groceries and supplies on time.
