B. False.
Planters, historically, would typically focus on cash crops that were highly valuable in the market rather than crops like corn and soy, which are generally considered staple crops. Cash crops such as cotton, tobacco, sugar and indigo were more likely to be grown because they offered high profits due to the demand in domestic and international markets. The use of inexpensive or unpaid labor, such as slavery in the past, allowed planters to maximize their profits from these cash crops. While corn and soy could potentially be grown, they were not the primary focus for maximum profit generation.
