• New farming practices emerged, encouraging movement to rural areas.
• Small farms were consolidated into larger farms, influencing movement to cities.
• Government assistance helped farmers to continue living in rural areas.
• Many new cotton mills were built, causing relocation to areas around mills.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Small farms were consolidated into larger farms, influencing movement to cities.

During the second half of the 20th century, changes in agricultural practices, such as mechanization and the consolidation of small farms into larger operations, led to a decline in rural farming populations as many individuals sought job opportunities in urban areas. This shift caused significant movement from rural regions to cities.
