However‚ let’s assess how an improvement in crop/livestock yield would affect a farmer in a developing country that exports crops to the United States. An improvement in crop/livestock yields would effectively allow this farmer to export a greater amount of high quality produce. In turn‚ an increase in exports of high quality produce would lead to an increase

Carver made many outstanding contributions to the agricultural world and also on America it’s self. Carver changed the face of Agriculture in the south with his crop rotation methods. Carver discovered through research and trail and error ways to help soil stay fertile. Through this discovery the nutrients would stay in the ground‚ and crops could be planted on the same soil year after year. Carver discovered that planting peanut one year then the next planting cotton would keep the soil fertial
