It looks like it in face of the fact that you implied the colonists of
North s,America had to learn how to plant crops they had been growing for

The pilgrims did not. They were city people and didn't bring one plow

Ah, but the Pilgrims also brought with them an almost boundless
ability to find merchants who were happy to scam them, too, don't
forget that.
