These plantsrequired space in which to develop their full growth. A tobacco plantcould be set or a hill of corn planted wherever a little loose dirtcould be found. Some English grains were seeded in the cleared landnear Hampton and Newport News but these old fields, abandoned by theIndians, were also near to exhaustion. An "indifferent crop" wasreported.
In 1627, Abraham Piersey had 200 acres each in wheat and barley. From these crops he was able to furnish food daily to sixty persons. How much... of this seeding was on land that had been abandoned fortobacco, or was old Indian fields, is not stated. When DeVriesvisited Virginia in 1643, he found the planters putting down, inEnglish grain, lands which had been exhausted by successive crops oftobacco. The General Assembly had ruled in 1639, that corn (probablywheat and maize) could be exported whenever the price fell belowtwelve shillings a bushel. Large exports of this valuable cereal werethen being made to the near-by colonies of Maryland, Manhattan, Carolina and the West Indies.
