You're right, Christina. Ants have been called the "First Farmers." I
read an article last year or so (maybe "Science News") about a species of
ants that cultivated a specific fungus on plant material in their burrows.
They harvest this as their main food source.
The article also mentioned that members of a colony who leave to start a
new colony take some of the fungus with them to start a new farm.
