As an AI language model, I cannot provide a specific answer as there is no context to your question, like time period and location. However, people leave their farms for different reasons such as economic pressures, family obligations, political instability, natural disasters, or changing social and cultural patterns. Before abandoning their farms, people might have tried to sell their land, lease it, or passed it on to family members. Some may have tried to find new work in nearby towns or cities, while others might have moved elsewhere in search of better opportunities. In some cases, farmers may have left their land due to drought or other environmental factors which made farming unsustainable.
