Detailed explanation-1: -Field windbreaks in the Great Plains have the potential to increase irrigation/water use efficiency and, therefore, crop production in this region with a high evapotranspiration demand (Dickey 1988).
Detailed explanation-2: -Corn and wheat became the most important crops of the Plains, just as they had been in the more humid eastern states. The importance of hogs in the Middle West was paralleled by beef cattle in the Great Plains, and cattle typically were fattened for market on corn just like hogs.
Detailed explanation-3: -With abundant water supply, good climate and fertile soil, it is a very productive region of India’s agriculture. Therefore, the northern plains are known as the breadbasket of India, and this physiological division of India is very suitable for growing crops and is densely populated.
