The Land and Climate of southern colonies affected agriculture because of the Warm climate and rich soil of Southern Colonies were subitable to support plantation. They were able to plant more and do more than other colonies could like The New England Colonies for Example: they had very cold/winter climates and it made it hard for anyone there to plant or grow anything to eat. They did not have a rich soil, and the soil was not easily support by large plantations. It was very rocky instead of soft like the Southern Colonies.
