1, Davsion River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davsion River water for irrigantion , per acre yield for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average./ Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since__________

答案：the samller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices.

2,Heavy rains during Centralia's corn planting season prevented some farmers there from planting corn. It is now the planting season for soybeans, another of Centrailia's principal crops, and those fields originally intended for corn are dry enough for planting. Nonetheless, even though soybean prices are unusually high at present, the farmers will leave most of these fields empty rather than plant them with soybeans, since____

答案：chemicals that were used to prepare the field for corn planting would stunt the growth of soybeans.
文中根本没提到有关chemcial的东西啊

我总感觉这两题答案和题目没关系的嘛。。。

Both answers make sense.

1) The answer provides an explanation to refute a potential claim that higher price for winter wheat might bring the the revenue from the winter wheat higher than that of the spring wheat.

2) This one, you have to comprehend a lot of facts. Although some farmers did not plant corn, most did. And if the chemicals used to prepare the field for corn were used, most of fields that have been planted corn, would not be suitable for the growth of soybeans due to the use of the chemical. Only the vacant land which has no corn planted previously is suitable for soybean planting.

还是不理解啊，第一题文章不是说种spring wheat不是更多利益吗？

Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable.他们“通常”获得相等的利润。但是其中一种产量锐减的时候，利润是否相等就不一定了。GMAT认为供求关系决定价格是作为常识的。
