Or is your argument that entire villages of humans would grow a large amount of a single crop, then trade that crop to other human villages who did the same thing, for money. But halfling villages would grow a smaller number of multiple crops, so they don't have to spend money to get anything they don't have. While, yes, that is how cash crops worked, that really didn't become a norm until something like the 1700s. Far past when we generally think of DnD taking place. Because it really only worked with very large numbers of distant communities. A small village would grow everything to trade only with other local villages, generally through a central town for ease of meeting up. So if a halfling village could easily grow enough food and spices and enough goods for trade... then so could the human villages.</blockquote>
