Midwest Region

Midwest Region Seed

The Midwest planting region spans a large and diverse area across the central and eastern United States, including states from the Midwest to the Atlantic ocean. The climate is generally temperate, with distinct seasons—cold winters with heavy snowfall in many areas, and warm, humid summers. Rainfall is more evenly distributed throughout the year, supporting a wide range of agricultural and natural vegetation.

This region is one of the most agriculturally productive in the country, with a strong focus on row crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat. It also supports pasture and forage crops for livestock grazing. In this combined region, plant diversity is rich, with prairie grasses, wildflowers, and wetland plants that thrive in the fertile soils. Regionally adapted seed mixes for this area typically include grasses like fescue, bluegrass, and ryegrass, along with legumes and other species that support rotational grazing, improve soil health, and boost crop yields. These mixes are essential for sustainable agriculture, as they improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, reduce erosion, and promote water retention. By using locally adapted plants, farmers and land managers can achieve healthier soils, enhance biodiversity, and ensure more resilient, productive agricultural systems for both crop and livestock production.
