It is said that culture is learned. The Hopi culture has been taught to each new generation as a fourth way of life. Their fourth way of life are farming and gardening which are fundamental circumstances of Hopi culture.
             It started since the coming out of the corn. It has said to be that as the Hopi moved from the third way of life, they were offered corn by Ma'saw. Which lead to the Hopis being left with the short blue ear corn.
             They learned that this fourth way of life would be strenuous. The Hopis knew this, but still must surrender to the corn as a way of life, because it was their culture.
             The Hopi learned how to adjust to their dried forsaken weather. By doing so, they used different ways of cultivation. They would perform dry farming and gardening on irrigated platforms.
             Dry farming is used depending on unaffected condensation. Gardening irrigation is possible because of the everlasting springs at each village that first allowed resolution. The Hopi use modern and traditional machinery. They used tractors, discs, digging sticks, and hoes.
             These Hopis lived in northern Arizona where there is a high-risk in farming and gardening. This high-risk was caused by cutworms, coyotes, rabbits, crows, ravens, flood, crought and the dry climate. To the Hopis, agriculture is their act in faith. Agriculture is their religious focus and an industrial pastime.
             The Hopis consider agriculture to be important, because agriculture is their culture. Agriculture reinforces their traditions and customs in each new generation of Hopi gardeners.
