how did changes in georgias agriculture during the second half of the 20th century affect the distribution of population in the state?
a. new farming practices emerged encouraging movement to rural areas
b. small farms were consolidated into larger farms, influencing movement to cities
c. Government assistance helped farmers to continue living in rural areas
d. many new cotton mills were built causing relocation to areas around mills
b. small farms were consolidated into larger farms, influencing movement to cities
This consolidation of small farms into larger farms likely led to a decrease in the number of people living in rural areas as fewer farmers were needed to work the larger farms. This would have caused a shift in population distribution towards more urban areas as people moved to cities in search of employment opportunities.
