Abstract: Abstract This contribution uses econometric analysis to uncover the various factors driving crop choice in six states along the Mississippi River. Aside from temperature and precipitation, soil characteristics are also included as explanatory factors—which is a factor often omitted from many studies. The analysis shows soil to be a key determinant of corn and soybean area in the regions studied.
