Acreages of wheat. And of peas in the area are ?exible. Widen income from an acre of wheat 1s high relative to income from an acre of peas or other crops, acreage of wheat expands. When income from peas is relatively high, acreage of peas expands at the expense of wheat. Peas also replace some of the fallow land, particularly if the price of peas is high relative to the cost of operating machinery and hiring labor.
