Rolling Piedmont hills with red clay soils and scattered granite outcroppings define the landscape. Rapid suburban development has fragmented the agricultural areas, creating a mix of farms and residential communities.
Horse farms and small cattle operations dominate the remaining agricultural land, catering to the affluent suburban population. Hay production supports the equine industry, while some row crops persist on larger remaining farms.
