Those two are opposites. Which answer do you think is correct?

Answered by M
In the passage it says "McCormick's invention increased food production enormously, which then lef to a decrease in farm product prices"

So would it be A
Answered by M
By products and production does it mean the price or the ability to make it
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. The answer is not A. After these two inventions, farmers were able to grow more cotton and corn. The more of these crops they produced, the more money they made.

The answer is B.

Answered by Reed
Yes, the answer is B. The more bales of cotton or bushels of corn produced, the price per unit went down, but the farmer made it up in selling more of it. The consumer paid less, so benefited.
