The middle colonies are more popular because of their inviting appeal to every religion and status. But, it also consists of rich farmland. On larger colonial farms, wheat, has become the popular and wanted crop because its flour is finer than Indian corn which leads to a better bread. Prosperious commercial farms include those along the coast and in the major river valleys. This not only brings the best land, but also water transport. Most of the Northern Colonies rely on substitence farming because the rocky soil and harsh climate conditions, leading to a bad product to sell. Although, the economies of the Middle Colonies, such as New York, are thriving because of its vast trade of wheat and other goods. Rare goods that can only be produced in the Middle Colonies, such as New York, stimulate the economy becuase it allows goods to be continually purchased and sold at a constant demand and supply.
