AN OVERVIEW OF PERFECT COMPETITION
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart. Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the

they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.

Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop

challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural

acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper

Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is

Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.

plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the

else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to

hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.

many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals

else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another

Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let

hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to

crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the

else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.

Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another

Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let

hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural

Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million

younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.

crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.

comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.
Did you deliver papers, babysit, or mow the lawn for pay when you were
younger? If so, you had to contend with fierce competition from other rivals
providing similar services. Nothing prevented other people from volunteering as
well. You all billed the "going rate." Your clients would just buy from someone
else if you sought to raise your prices. The circumstances faced by agricultural
growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to
contend with fierce competition. Because they sell the same commodity,
hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the

growers are very comparable to these. Although starting a crop can be more
challenging than hiring a babysitter or mowing a lawn, growers still have to

hundreds of farmers compete with one another in the vast world of agriculture.
Winter wheat is winter wheat, after all, but farmers can easily switch to another
crop if they are having trouble making money from that crop. In this instance,
they swap crops rather than selling the family farm. Consider the upper
Midwest region of the United States, which was referred to as "King Wheat" for
many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let
us think about the subject of this chapter, which is the market with perfect
competition. In this market, competitors are "a dime a dozen," and it is
relatively easy to enter and depart.

many decades. North Dakota grew 780,000 acres of maize and 11.6 million
acres of wheat in 1997, according to state-by-state statistics from the US
Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. Has the
crop mix altered over the past 25 years or so? Did farmers alter their crop
plantings in reaction to shifts in relative crop prices, given that crop switching is
comparatively simple? At the end of the chapter, we will know. Meanwhile, let

relatively easy to enter and depart.
