Question

why do corn farmers sometimes need to do things differently than in the past? add the cause to the chart. cause (with ?) → effect: corn farmers do things differently than in the past. options: weather in the corn belt is getting warmer and wetter. young people in the corn belt want to live in warmer places. rainfall in the corn belt has decreased quickly over the years. parents in the corn belt no longer teach their children about farming.

Explanation:

To determine the cause for corn farmers acting differently, we analyze the options. The effect is farmers changing practices. A change in weather (warmer, wetter) directly impacts farming methods (e.g., irrigation, crop selection), so this is the logical cause. Other options (youth moving, less rainfall, parenting changes) don’t directly relate to farming practices’ need to change.

Answer:

Weather in the Corn Belt is getting warmer and wetter.
