MLRA 91 - Wisconsin and Minnesota Sandy Outwash Minnesota and Wisconsin 52,780 km2 (20,380 mi2)

Water:
In years of normal precipitation, the moderate precipitation is inadequate for crops and pasture on sandy soils. In years of little or no precipitation, crop yields are seriously reduced. Irrigation is widely used for high-value crops. The wet lowland soils need to be drained for good crop production. Ground water is abundant in the glacial deposits.
