During the Agricultural Revolution, what was the main advantage of tenant farming rather than moving to the city for work?

Tenant farmers could use a skill they already had rather than starting over.

The Agricultural Revolution was a time of transition between hunting and gathering to the domestication of plants and animals, so there were no "cities" in the traditional sense. The benefit of farming, however, was that you could raise enough crops to feed your family and to trade and/or sell.
