Rolling hills and river valleys characterize this county along the Missouri River border with South Dakota. The terrain includes fertile bottomlands near the Missouri River and gently sloping uplands ideal for both crops and grazing.

Mixed farming operations dominate with corn and soybean rotations on the better soils and cattle grazing on the hillier terrain. Many farms integrate crop production with cow-calf operations to maximize land use efficiency.
