The Ohio River forms the western boundary of this county, creating fertile bottomlands ideal for row crop production. Rolling hills extend eastward from the river valley, transitioning to steeper terrain in the interior.

River bottom farms produce corn and soybeans, while upland areas support cattle operations and hay production. Urban proximity creates opportunities for direct marketing and specialty crop production.
