Mention about the dramatic expansion of wheat production in the USA.

Answer

There was a dramatic expansion of wheat production in the USA.
(i) The urban population in the USA was growing and the export market was becoming ever bigger. As the demand increased, wheat prices rose, encouraging farmers to produce wheat.
(ii) The spread of the railways made it easy to transport the grain from the wheat-growing regions to the eastern coast for export.
(iii) By the early twentieth century, the demand became even higher, and during the First World War the world market boomed.
