The Great Plains

The agriculture in The Great Plains is dominated by wheat. Winter wheat is planted in the fall so that it can be ready by the winter. It is grown from northern Texas to southern Nebraska.  Spring wheat is grown from central South Dakota to south-central prairie provinces of Canada. It is planted in early spring and harvested between late summer and early fall.

In Boston, urban agriculture is improving it's access to locally produced fresh food, by implementing urban activities. One activity is urban farming, where locally produced fresh food has lower carbon and transportation costs, so it is very beneficial. Some other urban activities include community gardens (which there are over 200 of in Boston), school gardens (which are in over 100 public schools in Boston), and public access fishing (over 20 locations in Boston have cleaned the water to make it possible for people to fish in local ponds).
