DELTA

Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana form the Delta region, an area whose productivity and land values are generally stronger the nearer they are to the Mississippi River. The region typically has good to excess rainfall, as well as numerous groundwater resources in areas that are suited for irrigation. The Delta also tends to have larger farmland tracts and highly productive soils.

MIDWEST

The Corn Belt describes the relatively homogenous production region across much of the Midwest, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri. Iowa and Illinois rank first and second, respectively, in the value of agricultural outputs in the region, and all five states rank in the top 13 nationally in terms of agricultural production value, with this year’s total approaching $100 billion in receipts across all commodities.

SOUTHERN PLAINS

The Southern Plains region of the United States is represented by Texas and Oklahoma which combine for over 160 million acres of crop and pasture/ranchland. Due to the sheer size of the area, it represents a substantial portion of the agricultural land mass in the U.S. and is responsible for a large share of both beef and wheat production.
