Social Studies
I can describe the land, farming and cities of the Midwest and explain why it is called America's Breadbasket.
The Breadbasket
The Midwest sits in the north-central part of the country. Much of the land is flat or gently rolling, and the soil is deep and rich. Farmers plant miles and miles of corn, wheat and soybeans. That grain becomes bread, cereal and food for farm animals. Big cities such as Chicago and Minneapolis grew near lakes and rivers. Summers are hot, and winters are cold and snowy.

- 1.
Name two crops that grow in the Midwest.
- 2.
Why is the soil good for farming?
