Step-by-step explanation:
Organic farming entails farmers using farming methods to cultivate their land and raise crops that keep the soil to remain alive through application of plant, animal, and farm wastes. The main advantage of organic farming is that it reduces pollution of the soil and water, and leads to the production of healthy foods for human consumption. The south-western states include; Utah, Nevada, and Arizona where research indicates that there is a small percentage of farmers who engage in organic farming. The North-western region includes Idaho and Montana, Oregon, and Washington and it has been established that they are below the average in organic production. Therefore, these two regions rarely or occasionally engage in organic agricultural production.
