CORN AND WHEAT
DAIRY
IRON ORE
The incredibly fertile soil in the Midwest makes it a perfect spot for growing crops. The Midwest is separated into three "belts", two of which are corn and wheat.
The third "belt" is the dairy belt. The northern grasslands in part of the Midwest are ideal for raising dairy cows. They produce much of the country's milk, butter, and cheese.
Large deposits of iron ore can be found in the Midwest, making it a large producer of steel.
