The feudal system landlords practiced the open field system. In this system the land was divided into three portions. One portion was to grow corn and wheat, the other for beans, peas, barley, oats and buckwheat and the third was for grazing and homes
Cultivation was just for the family needs so agriculture was not commercialized
There was inadequate agricultural yield to meet the demands of the growing urban population
