my great great grandparents came to ohio from ireland, and they were crop and livestock farmers. my great grandparents were decided to focus on mostly on dairy farming, along with my grandpa, and now my uncle and cousin still run the family dairy farm, it is the only dairy farm left here, and in the 6 surrounding counties.
Often in those areas there are good soils and ideal topography to grow crops and hay that are highly nutritious for dairy cattle. The Great Plains, areas by the Great Lakes and by the ocean on the western side of the states are among some of the ideal places to raise dairy cattle. Additionally, increasing US state regulation has artificially moved some dairy operations to other parts of the country. For example, it is estimated that California will have to import most of its meat, dairy, and eggs from other states or countries within the next five to ten years, due to legislation which will take effect in that time period.
Farming: poultry, dairy, meat products, and specialty crops Mining minerals: copper, iron, silver, lead zinc, and coal
Examples of extensive farming include large-scale ranching of cattle in South America, wheat farming in the Great Plains of the United States, and sheep farming in Australia. These types of farming typically involve low inputs of labor and capital per unit of land.

The Northeast and the Great Lakes regions are major dairy farming regions because the cool temperatures help keep the milk fresh. The same cool temperatures limit the ability to grow other agricultural products. For instance, the summer temperatures are not sufficiently warm to allow corn to fully ripen. The soil is also not as fertile as other areas, which also limits the ability to produce other products. Cows graze on natural pasture grasses during the summer and eat silage, or fermented plant material stored in silos, over the winter. These dairy farming areas are also in close proximity to their urban markets. This is very advantageous since milk is perishable.
Yes, it is a great place.
