Examine the table for corn yields in a farmland area over the course of several years. When corn is not in its growing season, farmers often cover the crop field with a different species to prevent erosion or soil degradation.

Based on the data, what likely impacted the corn growth over the three years shown here?
Responses

AThe increased rainfall provided larger corn yields over the three years in the study.
