Mississippi River bottomlands protected by levees create some of the most fertile agricultural land in Kentucky. The county's western border follows the great river, while interior areas feature gently rolling terrain.

Large-scale row crop operations dominate the protected bottomlands, producing exceptional yields of corn, soybeans, and wheat. Some farms also grow rice and other specialty crops suited to the alluvial soils.
