    1/6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The portion for farming is only half ie 1/2

    Since this portion is equally divided for corn, beans, and wheat, these are three different crops.

    We divide the portion given by 3

    1/2:3

    To get the division, we change the division sign into multiplication sign and the divisior reciprocated hence

    1/2:3 is same as 1/2*1/3

    1/2*1/3=1/6

    Therefore, each crop occupies 1/6 of the farmers land.
