Where are people most likely to farm in Minnesota?

Question

A. Young Drift Plains
B. Driftless Area
C. Mesabi Range
D. Superior Uplands

Answer 1

A. Young Drift Plains

In Minnesota, the Young Drift Plains, also known as the Prairie region or the Southern Red River Valley, are the most likely areas where farming is predominant. This region features fertile soils, relatively flat terrain, and has a long history of agriculture, particularly the cultivation of crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat. The Driftless Area, while having some farming, is characterized by its rugged topography and is less suitable for extensive agriculture. The Mesabi Range is known for its iron ore mining rather than farming, and the Superior Uplands also do not have the extensive agricultural activity seen in the prairie regions of the state.
