Please remember folks even if the Minotaur's are farmers it's impossible to start farming in the Forest of Death without the A.F.T. The soil is salted, remember? Only the special flora native to the region can grow in it until the A.F.T. converts the soil into fertile soil to plant crops in. That's why he is going to have to personally make every field in every town in his settlement first. After that, they can plant and crop rotate the normal way, but there will be no future expansion when he dies. It's a thing to worry about. If the population grows beyond the finite crops they'll be able to grow, they will need to find a reliable outside food source or risk starving to death.
