  • Long ago the Great Lakes were even bigger. As they receded, they left behind the material deposited on the bottom of the lakes - which was extremely rich in nutrients.
  • The area around the great lakes was flattened considerably by glaciers - which makes it easier to farm.
  • The area around the great lakes tends to get sufficient rainfall to support crops without much irrigation.
  • The area around the great lakes is crisscrossed by plenty of streams and rivers - which can provide additional water to irrigate crops when rainfall is not sufficient.
