Question

Which is the BEST description of the effect that tractors and other motorized implements have had on Georgia agriculture in the years following World War II?

Georgia's crop yields decreased because of increased pollution.

Pine trees replaced cotton as Georgia's most profitable agricultural product.

The efficiency of Georgia's farming improved and a single farmer could work a larger plot of land.

Tractors and motorized implements had no effect of agriculture in Georgia in the years following World War II.

Answer 1

Agriculture went through a major transformation after WWII. New tractors, other motorized farming equipment, fertilizers, and establishing crop rotation farming made farming easier and more productive.

Since these new farming ideas and technologies improved farming and made it more efficient, a farmer could farm bigger tracts of land by himself.

This also had a cultural impact on Georgia. After WWII, more people moved to cities to look for jobs, since small farmers lost their jobs. They moved to urban areas to look for factory/business jobs.
