Flint Hills tallgrass prairie creates rolling limestone hills ideal for cattle grazing with Council Grove Lake and the Neosho River valley providing water resources. Historic stone buildings and native stone fences reflect the area's limestone heritage.
Stocker cattle operations utilize the pristine tallgrass prairie for seasonal grazing programs that maintain the native ecosystem. Limited crop production occurs in valley bottoms with corn, soybeans, and alfalfa grown on fertile alluvial soils.
