MLRA 55A - Northern Black Glaciated Plains North Dakota 32,240 km2 (12,450 mi2)

Land Use:
Nearly all this area is in farms and ranches, and about 80 percent is cropland that is dry-farmed. Cash-grain wheat production is the principal enterprise on many farms, but other cash grains, feed grains, hay, flax, and sunflowers also are grown. The more sloping and thinner or sandy soils are in native range. About 3 percent of this area is forested.
