Cropland (corn, soybeans, and small grains), rural grassland, and other agricultural land (orchards, vineyards, etc.) make up the uses of agricultural land, which together account for approximately 65% of the total area of the region. Agriculture is a key employment industry and an important source of income for local people in Southern Illinois counties.
