Land Use:
Nearly all this area is in farms, about two-thirds of which is cropland. Hard winter wheat and grain sorghum are the main cash crops, but large acreages are planted to other small grains and hay. Corn is a major cash crop in the north. Most of the corn is irrigated by water from wells or canals. About one-fourth of the land is rangeland or pastureland grazed by beef cattle.
