Tipton County sits on the Mississippi River floodplain with extremely flat, fertile alluvial soils. The Loosahatchie River and several creeks drain the area, with extensive agricultural lands protected by levee systems.

Agriculture dominates the county economy with large-scale production of cotton, soybeans, corn, and rice on highly mechanized farms. The fertile river bottom soils consistently produce some of the highest crop yields in Tennessee.
