Synopsis

Excerpt from Types of Farming in Illinois: An Analysis of Differences by Areas

Natural conditions in Illinois, which lies largely in the corn belt, normally favor profitable farming. The average productivity of Illinois soils is high, much of the land is level or gently rolling, and the climate is varied enough to make a wide range of products possible.

Economic conditions are also conducive to a prosperous agriculture relative to other farming regions in the United States. Easy access to markets, improved transportation, and good financial returns have created favorable circumstances. The densely populated area extend ing east of the Mississippi river and north of a line running east from the southern tip of Illinois includes less than one-sixth of the area of the United States but more than one-half of its population. The millions of people within the state itself (less than one-tenth live on farms) consume large quantities of farm products.
