MLRA 116A - Ozark Highland Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma 69,810 km2 (26,950 mi2)

Land Use:
About 70 percent of this area is forests or woodland, most of which is in large holdings, national forests, or farm woodlots. About 20 percent is pasture, mainly of introduced grasses and legumes. About 10 percent is cropland. Corn, feed grains, and hay for dairy cattle and other livestock are the principal crops. Orchards, vineyards, and truck crops are important on some of the more friable deep soils. Summer droughts and steep slopes are major land use problems.
