How did farming change during the roman republic period

Farmers and shepherds were the core of the society of Ancient Rome. The main crop was cereals (especially wheat) and legumes. Later the vine was introduced, and even later the vineyards were reached and the olive tree was imported. As fruit trees highlights the fig tree. The cultivation of vegetables, legumes and flax was also important.

At first the Romans owned the land in usufruct and their wealth (pecunia) was measured by the herds, and the personal savings were the peculiar (to have won). Later private land ownership was introduced.

The first lands of the Romans were called heredium de herus (owner), and at first they did not exceed two yugada (5,400 square meters), although apart were the house, the stables, the barbechera and the pastures. These small portions of land were soon overcome and if in any case they were maintained it was for the ancient cultivators of the dominated cities, but not for the Roman citizens.

The Romans improved agricultural techniques. They introduced the Roman plow, more effective mills, such as grain, oil press, irrigation techniques and the use of fertilizer.

In addition, the farmers owned small plots or seized part of the land of the patricians. Production surpluses were sold in the cities and commercial and manual labor activities were not well seen by the Romans; therefore, they were carried out by foreigners or slaves.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
