Flat alluvial plains of the Mississippi Delta create some of the most fertile agricultural land in the state. The Tallahatchie River flows through extensive bottomlands and oxbow lakes.

Large-scale row crop operations produce cotton, soybeans, corn, and rice on highly productive delta soils. Mechanized farming dominates with some of the largest field operations in Mississippi.
