题目内容
阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案
Farming is important in the economy(经济)of Canada. Farm products -- wheat, meat fruit and dairy(奶制品)products -- make up about 20% of Canada's exports(出口), but Canada has very little good farmland. Only 7% of the country is for farming. Today Canada has a serious problem. The cities are growing bigger and taking up good land. More farmland is being taken up by the new wide roads between the cities.
Canada's two main farming regions(地区)are the Prairies in the middle of the country and the lake Peninsula. About 80% of all the farmland is in the Prairies. Here the conditions are excellent for growing wheat.
The Lake Peninsula region has many cities and towns. Here the farmers grow vegetables and fruit for the people and they keep dairy cattle for milk.
The average size of the Canadian farms is 560 acres (3,360mu). But Prairies farms are much bigger than this and farms in the Lake Peninsula and other places are smaller. The farmers use a lot of machines. There are not many farmers and farm workers. Because machines are used, the farmers can produce a lot of food. It is said that one farm worker can produce food for 60 people.
