Cimarron County, Oklahoma

Farm Programs & Local Resources

Last Updated: March 2026 | Always verify with your local USDA office. Report an error

High Plains shortgrass prairie extends across this Panhandle county, with the Cimarron River creating bottom lands and breaks in the otherwise flat terrain. Black Mesa, Oklahoma's highest point, rises dramatically in the northwestern corner.

Large-scale dryland wheat farming dominates agriculture, with fields stretching to the horizon across the flat plains. Cattle operations utilize wheat pasture for winter grazing and native shortgrass for summer range, while limited irrigation supports specialty crops.
