Bordering Canada and Lake Superior
Farming turned the open prairies of the western and southern half of the state into a checkerboard of fields and pastures. Large-scale agriculture began in the 1870s in the Red River Valley, where "Bonanza" wheat farms were promoted by railroad corporations. Flour mills made Minneapolis the country's largest producer of flour from the 1880s to the 1920s.
The soil gave out and wheat farmers had to diversify. Today, crops include sugar beets, potatoes, corn, soy beans, and vegetables, along with livestock. Food processing includes meat packing, cheese making, brewing, and canning. Explore details on Crop Systems that were prepared by the Minnesota Extension Service.
