Dear Berengaria,

I would like to know more about the agricultural practices of farmers in
Great Britain, and in Scotland during the 1500's.
More specifically:
What types and breeds of animals did they raise?
What types of crops did they farm?
What methods did they use for planting and harvesting?
What were some of the main tools of the trade (what were they called then)?
What were the methods of storage and preservation of grains and other
crops(fruit, tubers, etc.)
Where there any superstitions or beliefs that were prevalent in farming?

I hope these are not to much. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

yours,
Ian
