Agriculture in North American Regions with Extreme Environment

North American agrarian regions are among the chief food grain generators of the world. In this continent, farms flourish from Northern Texas in the south to the Canadian Prairie states in the north. Farmers subscribe to large-scale production of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds. The northern snow-clad region is hostile. It supports no agricultural activity. In the semiarid cold prairies, crop production occurs despite environmental extreme. Agrarian pursuits in the Canadian Prairies suffer due to hostile supercold low temperatures, and short frost-free season. Crops suffer a deficit in heat units and precipitation received. Droughts, dust storms, and arid climate restrict crop production. The Midwest, Central, and Southern Great Plains are consistent crop production zones despite a hostile agrarian environment. They encounter periodic dust storms, tornadoes, rain storms, cold spells, and blizzards. The Northeast America experiences extreme cold conditions due to snow, frost, fog, and untimely precipitation. In the southwest, “Llanos Estacada” soils possess uncongenial structure, texture, organic fraction, and absolutely low fertility for crops. Ambient environment is hostile with dust storms, drought, and low precipitation. Overall, the North American continent experiences extreme environments in different subregions.
