The county features flat to gently rolling plains typical of wheat country with the Cimarron River creating bottomland suitable for irrigation. Scattered salt flats and alkali areas reflect the semi-arid climate and geological history.
Large-scale wheat farming utilizes center pivot irrigation systems on sandy soils near the Cimarron River bottom. Dryland wheat operations on upland soils often incorporate cattle grazing during fall and winter months to maximize economic returns.
