The Midwest is known as “America’s Breadbasket,” earning this nickname thanks to its fertile soil and agricultural output. Corn, soybeans and wheat are staples of the region’s farming economy.
However, the Midwest isn’t just about farming; it’s also a hub for manufacturing, especially in urban areas like Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland.
Rich in natural resources like coal, iron and timber, the Midwest is one of the country’s centers for heavy industry. Today, its economy has diversified to include technology, healthcare and education.
