Rolling palouse hills and channeled scablands create diverse topography across this dryland farming region with elevations from 1,400 to 2,800 feet. Deep, fertile soils and steep slopes characterize this wheat country landscape.

Large-scale dryland wheat and barley operations utilize no-till and minimum-till practices across thousands of acres of rolling terrain. Cattle operations graze areas too steep for crop production while some diversification includes canola, peas, and lentils.
