Why was farming difficult in the new england colonies

The soil was rocky, which made farming difficult.

Explanation:

The New England colonies had very harsh winters and mild summers. This made the growing season only about five months long. Because the soil was rocky and the climate was often harsh, colonists in New England only farmed enough to feed their families.

Also the growing season was short; there was only enough time to plant one crop such as corn.
