Missouri River bluffs and bottomland create diverse topography with rich alluvial soils along the eastern border. Rolling hills transition to flatter agricultural areas toward the west with numerous creeks and timber stands.
Corn and soybean production dominates the fertile river bottoms while upland areas support cattle grazing and hay production. Proximity to Kansas City provides markets for specialty crops and direct-to-consumer operations.
