The "Grain Belt", or "America's Breadbasket", or in the case of corn "The Corn Belt".
The term "heartland" is a fitting nickname for the Midwest because of its central location in the United States, both geographically and culturally. The region's vast agricultural lands are often considered the heart of America's farming industry, and its traditional values and strong sense of community are seen as emblematic of the country's core values.
Crops that give the Midwest the nickname of America's breadbasket are wheat, oats, and corn. The area got the nickname during colonial times because the middle colonies were able to grow much more food than other colonies.
The dustbowl is a nickname for the Midwest during the great depression. I is one factor that causes the great depression because of the shortage of food.
