(ii) There were no enclosures owned privately by the landlords.
(iii) Peasants cultivated on strips of land around the village they lived in.
(iv) Each year. a public meeting was held and each villager was allocated a number of strips to cultivate.
(v) The strips were of different quality and each villager was given both good and bad strips.
(vi) There was common land which was used by all the villagers to graze their animals and for other necessities.
Thus, the common land was very useful to the poor because it supplemented their meagre income, sustained their cattle, and helped them tide over bad times in case of failure of crops.
(i) The farmers used the simple innovations in agriculture to improve production in the early eighteenth century on a regular basis. They began growing turnip and clover. These crops improved the soil and made it more fertile. Moreover, turnip was a good fodder crop relished try cattle. These cropsRead more
(i) The farmers used the simple innovations in agriculture to improve production in the early eighteenth century on a regular basis. They began growing turnip and clover. These crops improved the soil and made it more fertile. Moreover, turnip was a good fodder crop relished try cattle. These crops had the capacity to increase the nitrogen content of the soil which was important for crop growth. Cultivation of the same soil over a few years depleted the nitrogen in the soil and reduced its fertility. By restoring nitrogen, turnip and clover made the
soil fertile once again.
(ii) Enclosures were considered necessary to make long term investments on land and plan crop rotations to improve the soil.
(iii) Enclosures also allowed the richer landowners to expand the land under their control and produce more for the market.
The effects of the enclosures on the poor were as given below: (i) The poor could no longer collect their firewood from the forests or graze the cattle on the commons. (ii) The could no longer collect apples and berries or hunt small animals for meat. (iii) They could not gather the stalks that layRead more

(ii) The could no longer collect apples and berries or hunt small animals for meat.
(iii) They could not gather the stalks that lay on the fields after the crops were cut. Everything belonged to the landlords. Everything had a price which the poor could not afford to pay.
(iv) In Midlands and counties around it, enclosures came into existence on an extensive scale. The poor were displaced from the land. Deprived of their right and driven off the land, they tramped in search of work. From the Midlands. they moved to the Southern counties of England but nowhere could the poor find secure jobs.
(v) Wages of the labourers were reduced. They were employed only during harvest time. Work became insecure, employment uncertain and income unstable. For a very large part of the year, the poor had no work.
(a) The factors for the introduction of threshing machines were as given below: (i) Expansion of production by the farmers due to high prices of foodgrains. (ii) Fear of shortage of labour.

(v) To reduce their dependence on labourers.
(b) After the Napoleonic wars, thousands of soldiers returned to their homes. They
needed jobs but there was no work due to reduction in the cultivation area and use of threshing machines. This led to riots.
Modern Agriculture had affected the following changes in England: (i) The open fields disappeared. (ii) The customary rights of peasants were undermined.
