MLRA 112 - Cherokee Prairies Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma 59,410 km2 (22,940 mi2)

Land Use:
Nearly all this area is in farms, and about one-half is cropland. Winter wheat, soybeans, corn, grain sorghum, other feed grains, and hay are the major crops. Some cotton is grown in a few counties in Oklahoma. About one-third of the area is in pasture grasses and legumes; native grasses grow on the more sloping parts. About one-tenth of the area, the steeper valley slopes and some of the wet bottom land, is woodland. The acreage of woodland in Kansas is considerably less than that in Missouri and in Oklahoma.
