The correct answer is A. Large corporate farms have replaced small family farms, and new technologies have helped increase crops.
To understand how the number of farms has decreased but the Prairie Provinces continue to produce most of Canada's wheat, we need to look at the changes in the agricultural industry.
In recent years, there has been a trend of small family farms being replaced by large corporate farms. These corporate farms have the resources and scale to invest in advanced technologies, machinery, and techniques that can increase crop yields. By adopting these technologies, such as improved irrigation systems, precision farming techniques, and genetically modified seeds, these large farms are able to produce higher quantities of wheat.
As a result, despite the decrease in the number of individual farms, the remaining larger farms in the Prairie Provinces of Canada have been able to maintain and even increase their wheat production. The combination of large-scale corporate farming and modern technologies has allowed these farms to compensate for the decrease in the overall number of farms.
