The Central Low Plains Ecoregion
Once mostly covered with tall grass prairie, now over 80 percent of the Central Low Plains (also known as the Western Corn Belt Plains) is now used for cropland agriculture and much of the remainder is in forage for livestock.
A combination of nearly level to gently rolling glaciated till plains and hilly loess plains, with an average annual precipitation of 26 to 37 inches, occuring mainly in the growing season, together with fertile, warm, moist soils make this on of the most productive areas of corn and soybeans in the world.
Agricultural practices have contributed to environmental issues, including surface and groundwater contamination from fertilizer and pesticide applications as well as concentrated livestock production.
