Is it possible to farm in a swamp?

+0
−0

In my world they live in a swamp similar to the Okeefenokee swamp in Georgia. My question is, would it be possible to farm certain plants like wild rice, milkweed, and lilypads in these conditions?

Extra Info:

  • The people in this world are the average height of a human now, but the plant life is much bigger. So crops would be about the size of a one story home.
  • They have primitive ways of farming and no modern day tools like tractors, but they do have ways of using animal pulled equipment. They also have the wheel and basic medal work and simple boats.
  • The swamp water is deeper that normal, about 20ft deep because of the growth in the environment.
  • The swamp also cannot be drained as it is too large.

If you need any more information please ask.
