Cambridge, southwestern Nebraska | I live about 100 miles west and some south of Grand Island and more wheat is grown here. Around Grand Island there is a lot more irrigation and they recieve more rainfall so corn and beans work well even on dryland. In the Plains region I beleive I have heard that for every 50 miles you go west there is 1" less rainfall in annual precipitation. So western areas of all the states from North Dakota to Texas have less rainfall in the western sides of those states than the eastern side thus that is where most of the wheat is grown. |
