MLRA 55B - Central Black Glaciated Plains North Dakota and South Dakota 52,480 km2 (20,260 mi2)

Land Use:
Nearly all this area is in farms and ranches, and about 70 percent is cropland that is dry-farmed. Cash-grain wheat production is the principal enterprise on many farms. Other small grains, feed grains, hay, flax, and sunflowers are also grown. About one-fourth of the area, consisting of the more sloping and thinner soils, is native range and some woodland.
