Then & Now
🌍 The geography you'll learn is the same one your phone's GPS is using right now.
Agriculture and farming regions are important areas where crops are grown and animals are raised. Different regions have different climates and soil types, which means they grow different types of food. For example, the Midwest region of the United States is known for its corn and wheat production, while California is famous for its fruits and vegetables. Farmers work hard to provide us with the food we eat every day!
Key Facts
The Midwest is often called the 'Corn Belt' because of its large corn production.
