Best Answer

They are good for certain crops like wheat, corn,barley,rye because these crops are only profitable grown in large quantities and farms on the prairies can cover thousands of acres. And the crops don't have to compete with trees.

Prairie grasslands provide inexpensive feed for beef cattle and sheep herds .

Some prairie farmers have so many acres planted that they use five or six or more big combine harvesting machines.

Large amounts of grain can be shipped overland most economically to flour mills, cereal factories, breweries, etc. by rail and prairie trains can be very long since they don't have to go up and down long inclines.
