The Book of Mormon describes
agriculture in ancient America as being similar to that found in the
Middle East during biblical times. The problem is that ancient Americans
didn't utilize plow agriculture for growing crops such as wheat and
barley. Crops that were grown by ancient Americans were
depicted in their artwork, although most of those were not mentioned
in the Book of Mormon.
