Plains Midwest

The half-dozen states that make up the Plains sub-region of the Midwest represent America’s farm country. Until the end of the 19th century, the Great Plains had been the stomping ground of the American buffalo, or bison. Following their destruction, and with the introduction of irrigation, the plains states became America’s primary grain producers. The Plains Midwest makes up the Bread Basket and a good portion of the Corn Belt, as well. Kansas is wheat country. Iowa and Nebraska are known more for corn. But only Mitchell, South Dakota, can boast an actual Corn Palace. Where corn is produced in massive quantities, you can expect lots of hogs and cattle, which feed on the corn crop. And the Plains Midwest is meat and potatoes territory. Cattle are raised on the vast ranchlands, and beef vies with pork as the most popular meats.
