Iron tools would significantly increase the land area which can be farmed with a given amount of effort, perhaps doubling a person’s productivity.
The downside is that producing and maintaining iron tools requires at least one specialist expert in the mining, smelting, refining and forging of iron, a quite complex process. A community would need many farmers to justify the training and supporting of the full time blacksmith.
Such issues were likely the reason for the development of merchants and traders
