Smack in the middle of North America is a huge area of land which was once covered with grasses and colorful wild flowers. The French called the rolling plains of grass "prairie", from the word for a meadow grazed by cattle. The prairies are a type of grassland dominated by herbaceous plants and grasses. Very few trees grow on the prairies but when encountered it creates a staccato punctuation against the rolling,flowing,lyrical movements of the great plains.
Why is wheat production decreasing in North America?
