Nearly level prairie provides some of Missouri's best agricultural soils across this intensively farmed county. Grand River and Thompson River create minor drainage patterns through the predominately flat landscape.

Large-scale grain production dominates with corn and soybean rotations on the prime prairie soils. Cattle operations and swine production complement row crop farming in integrated agricultural systems.
