About North Dakota

North Dakota, located in the midwestern region of the U.S., is one of the most rural of all the states. With farms covering more than 90 percent of the land, North Dakota tops the charts in terms of wheat production and other agricultural products. The state is dominated by the Great Plains, with vast expanses of flat land suitable for cattle ranching and dry farming. North Dakota is one of the least visited states in the U.S., having no single key tourist attraction. However, with over 20 state parks and recreation areas and annual state events, North Dakota draws regional visitors throughout the year.
