Agriculture: Scientific methods of cultivation and use of tractors, harvesters, and combines have made North America a surplus producer of food grains. The Prairies are also called the ‘Granaries of the world’ due to surplus wheat production.
Dairy Farming: It is another major industry in this region. The dairy belt extends from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Coast in the east.
Food Processing Industries: Dairy farming and surplus production in agriculture promote setting up of food processing industries.
Mineral Resources: This region has rich deposits of minerals like iron and coal.
