The Rolling Plains land resource area encompasses more than 24 million acres in northcentral Texas. The area is bordered on the north by the Red River, east by the Cross Timbers oak belt, south by the Edwards Plateau, and on the west by the High Plains. Rainfall varies from about 25 inches in the east to 19 inches in the west. The surface area is drained by the Colorado, Brazos, and Red River systems and limited groundwater occurs within the region.
Crops are largely dependent on precipitation, which occurs mainly in a spring-fall bimodal pattern.
Wheat and cotton are the primary cultivated crops, while native rangeland and pastureland are utilized for cow-calf and stocker production. Almost 70 percent of the region is native rangeland, but income is equally split between crops and livestock. This site is still under construction.
