In 1–2 sentences, explain how a national rail line through Atlanta, Macon, and Statesboro to Savannah might affect the distribution of farming and how this relates to von Thünen’s model.

The national rail line would make it easier for farmers to transport their goods to larger markets in Savannah, which would increase the amount of land devoted to farming near the rail line and decrease the amount of land devoted to farming further away. This is in line with von Thünen's model, which states that land closer to a market will be used for farming, while land further away will be used for other activities.
