Nearly level prairie with exceptionally deep, black soils represents some of Iowa's most productive agricultural land. Wolf Creek flows through the county, creating the only significant topographic relief in an otherwise uniformly flat landscape.

Intensive corn and soybean production achieves some of the highest yields in Iowa due to ideal soils and favorable climate conditions. The flat terrain allows for highly efficient farming operations with large equipment and precise field management.
