Question

In the 1940s Georgia had approximately 250,000 farmers. There are less than 40,000 today. Account for the decrease in numbers in this occupation. *

Answer 1

Answer:

The decrease in the number of farming happened because it has become expensive.

Explanation:

Nowadays, more products produced due to technological progress made in machines, research in seeds, soils, and the use of satellites for weather reporting. The cost of machinery and other charges has forced many people into other professions to earn more money in the cities. Farming presently requires a lot of money to buy agricultural machines. Farms are large, even though there are fewer of them. They are involved in the production of the crop and distribution in the market for consumers. Georgia produces cabbage, corn, apples, berries, cucumbers, grapes, onions, soybeans, watermelons, wheat, etc.
