Arkansas River bottomland provides exceptionally fertile soils for agriculture while Grand Prairie extends across much of the county. This flat terrain with clay soils is ideal for rice production and mechanized farming.

Rice production dominates agriculture with extensive acreage supported by sophisticated irrigation and drainage systems. Soybeans, cotton, and corn are grown in rotation while some cattle operations utilize non-crop areas.
