In a country where land is low-cost, the ratio of land to labor used in raising cattle is higher than the ratio of land to labor in growing wheat. Meanwhile, in more crowded countries where land is costly and labor is cheap, it is common to raise cattle by using less land and more labor. Can it be concluded that raising cattle is more land-intensive than growing wheat?

Answer: Yes, because raising one cattle takes up more space than single wheat....

#2. In the US, where land is cheap, the ratio of land to labor used in cattle raising is higher than that of land used in wheat growing. But in more crowded countries, where land is expensive and labor is cheap, it is common to raise cows by using less land and more labor than Americans use to grow wheat. Based on the HO model, can we still say that raising cattle is land intensive compared with farmiong wheat? Why or why not?
