Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What are the two main types of land farming in Canada?

Answer: Intensive and Extensive

Intensive farming is usually done in urban areas or where land is expensive. It typically involves small amounts of land, such as in a market garden. Extensive farming is usually done in rural areas or where land is inexpensive. It normally involves big areas of land, such as a cattle farm.
2. In the early 21st century, approximately what percentage of Canadians were farmers?

Answer: Less than 3%

Nearly 100 years ago, more than 80% of Canadians farmed because Canada was still being developed. In the modern day, fewer people farm because of advanced technology that saves manpower.
3. How many classes of natural farmland are there in Canada?

Answer: 7

Classes One-Three are suitable farmland, and only take up five percent of land. Classes Four-Six have too many land restrictions for good farming, and take up eight and a half percent of land. Class Seven has no farming capability.
4. Why do farmers use crop rotation?

Answer: So that soil can be reused every year

Crop rotation is when farmers change which crop they grow in each place every year. This rotation keeps the soil fertile, because different crops help the soil gain various nutrients. Fertile soil equals less work for the farmers.
5. How much of Canada's Class One farmland can be seen from the landmark CN Tower?

Answer: 37%

About 37% of Canada's best farmland can be seen when one is looking out from the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. Unfortunately, most of the land that is seen from up there is covered by development, which means that much of the good farmland is not being farmed!
6. A monoculture is when only one type of crop is grown.

Answer: True

A monoculture is essentially the opposite of crop rotation. Instead of having different crops, a farmer grows just one. It may create more work for the farmer, but can still be just as profitable.
7. Agriculture is the process of entering machines into a system, resulting in a decrease of the labour load.

Answer: False

Agriculture is not the process described; it is, in fact, called mechanization. Mechanization has increased the annual number of crops and livestock, but has decreased the amount of farms and labour.
8. Is land a renewable or non-renewable resource?

Answer: Both

Land is considered renewable because if it is taken care of, it can be reused. It is also considered non-renewable because there is a limited supply.
9. Is erosion a problem when it comes to farming land?

Answer: Yes

Erosion is a problem because it can ruin the topsoil of farming land. If the topsoil is ruined, it will be counter-productive to growing crops.
10. Which of these is NOT a type of land farming?

Answer: Fish

The farming that is done on each farm depends on the type of farm and its location. Common farm types include those that produce fruits/nuts, livestock and animals, and field crops. The types of crops that are grown on a farm depend on soil conditions and the growing season.
