Flat Mississippi River bottomland creates some of Missouri's most productive agricultural soils in this delta region. Extensive drainage systems and levees manage water on land that was historically swampland and wetlands.

Intensive row crop production on large farms focuses primarily on cotton, corn, soybeans, and rice. Sophisticated irrigation and drainage systems maximize yields on the fertile alluvial soils of the Mississippi Delta.
