Humphreys County lies entirely within the Mississippi Delta with extremely flat topography and heavy clay soils. The county is crisscrossed by drainage ditches and levees that manage water flow across the agricultural landscape.

Intensive row crop agriculture characterizes farming here, with large fields of cotton, soybeans, and rice under center-pivot irrigation. Catfish aquaculture operations utilize the flat terrain and abundant water resources for pond farming.
