Why did profits for growing crops increase in jamestown?

that finally helped the colony make money?

The settlers grew tobacco as their cash crop. This got them a lot of money.

When did Jamestown start growing tobacco?

It was growing since the begining. they had just discoveryed it. So then they stated making money. They used it as medicine, and to act cool. To act cool? haha hardly... Tobacco was so prosperous in that area, so the settlers saw great promise there. They began cultivating it and perfecting the cultivation so there was very little waste. Because of this, the settlers became very rich as they would sell the tobacco. This became the first American settlement. But what I am wondering is, who was the person who perfected the cultivation? -Marc The person was the husband of Pocahontas(John Rolfe) he perfected the methods of raising and curing the weed and eliminated much of the bitter tang. -ariana

food chain i would say only because there is competition on getting food and survival
