In a year with exceptionally good weather conditions, the production function curve will be higher and parallel to the curve above. b. A discovery of new high yielding crop seeds would tilt the production function curve higher anti-clockwise, pivoted at the origin. c. In a year of bad drought the production curve can turn downwards for large numbers of farmers. d. If there is an upper-limit on the amount of grain that can be produced, then the curve will end up horizontal for large number of farmers.
