Racine County stretches from Lake Michigan inland across fertile prairie soils and gentle rolling terrain. The Root River flows through the county, creating productive bottomland areas.

The county's agriculture emphasizes cash crops like corn and soybeans on high-quality soils, along with significant dairy operations. Urban pressure has shifted some areas toward specialty crops and agritourism operations.
