■ identify which ring contains less valuable land.

Explanation:

Answer:

Townships are square land divisions of 36 square miles used in the United States Public Land Survey System.
The French long-lot system is a land distribution method where long, narrow lots provide multiple settlers access to a river or road.
The Von Thunen model is an agricultural model that suggests a pattern for the types of crops that farmers produce at different positions relative to the market where they sell their goods.
Assume that farmers are in the business to make a profit.
Decisions on what to produce based largely on transportation costs and these costs are proportional to the distance from the market.
Cost of land is another factor that influences decisions regarding agricultural products.
Horticulture is the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants.
Horticulture produces perishable items, and farmers need to get them to the market quickly.
Intensive
Wood is heavy and thus difficult to transport, which is why Von Thunen's second zone includes forests.
Includes crops such as wheat and corn.
Do not perish as quickly as vegetables and milk and were not as difficult to transport as wood.
Used for grazing of livestock.
Further from the market because they could walk when it was time to transport.
Farm size increases as distance from the market increases because land is cheaper in outlying areas.
Zone 1 (the innermost ring) contains the most valuable land.
Only farmers who used the land intensively could make a profit.
Zone 4 (the outermost ring) contains less valuable land.
