Why are the northeast and the great lakes regions major dairy farming regions?

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.

The only reason really is because in Scotland we speak 'Doric' which is not a different language, but more of an accent. In Scotland, the word for lake is loch, so this is why most of the lakes in Scotland are called lochs. I think 'Lake Ness' and 'Lake Lomond' sound funny as well!

Fun Fact: Puddock means 'frog' in Doric!

There have been some reports of bull sharks making it as far as lake Michigan but these are believed to be hoaxes.

What formed the Great Lakes?

They started off by a midcontinet rift which created the a basin for the Lake Superior. The Saint Lawrence rift which created the basin for Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Non of these basins were even close to being filled up with water until around 10,000 years ago. The Laurentide sheet then retreated and left a lot of melt water which then filled the basins which became the Great Lakes. This took a little more than a billion years from start to what it is today.

  1. Lake Superior
  2. Lake Michigan
