Extension Questions: The grasslands biome is considered to be the "bread basket" of our country because it is a hub of agricultural activities particularly grain farming (wheat, corn, rye, oats, etc.). Much of the U.S. animal farming and meat production also occurs here, since the animals are often grain-fed. Recent climate change models suggest that as the planet warms, rainfall in this region will drop and temperatures will rise. Use the information from this activity to answer the following questions. What characteristics of the grasslands biome make it a critical source of food for the U.S. and other countries?
