Which of the following statements is not correct about the commercial grain farming ?

  • A.In extensive commercial grain farming farms are very large
  • B.In this farming wheat is the most important crop
  • C.Traditional method of agriculture and dominant role of hand labour characterise this type of farming
  • D.Complexes of farm buildings are located on farms

Answer: C

The statement that is not correct is Traditional method of agriculture and dominant role of hand labour characterise this type of farming.

Commercial grain farming, found on the prairies of North America, the steppes, the pampas and in Australia, is highly mechanised: tractors, combine harvesters and grain elevators replace labour, which is scarce and expensive in these thinly populated regions. Traditional methods and hand labour describe subsistence farming instead.

The other statements are correct: farms are very large (often hundreds of hectares), wheat is the leading crop, and each farm has its own complex of farm buildings such as the farmhouse, sheds and storage bins.
