Land Use:
Most of this area is in farms, and about 70 percent is cropland. The area is used primarily for crops grown for sale or for feeding livestock. Corn, soybeans, alfalfa, flax, spring wheat, and oats are the principal crops. Wooded sections generally are narrow bands along streams and rivers or are shelterbelts around farmsteads. Recreation is an important land use around the many natural lakes in the northern part of the area.
