Number of farmers
We can ascertain that:
O In a year with exceptionally good weather conditions, the production function curve will be
lower and parallel to the curve above.
O A discovery of new high-yielding crop seeds would tilt the production function curve higher,
pivoted anti-clockwise at the origin.
O In a year of bad drought, the production curve can slope downwards.
O This production function shows increasing marginal product to labour.
