This company hired an English explorer, Henry Hudson, to seek great riches. He sailed into the Delaware Bay and New York Bay in 1609 and then ascended the Hudson River.

Farmers can bake the heart, grind the seeds into flour, and roast the stalks for food, and then sell the sap as income. And by growing something other than grain the nutrients in the soil would come back. On a lesser scale, farmers could raise herbs like fenugreek and Spanish lavender to fight and prevent common illnesses since medications are so scarce. And grain could still grow in order to provide revenue, but not as the sole crop. Instead a variety of crops would grow to feed the people living in the savannas instead of providing
