GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH CENTRAL
REGION
Economy of the Midwest Region
The Midwest Region could be called the "Land
of Farms." It is one of the most important
farming areas in the United States.
The region's climate makes it perfect for
farming. The Midwest also has fertile,
deep soil.
The Midwest Region has three main
areas or belts that contain certain types of
crops.
1. The Corn Belt is in the eastern part of
the region. Iowa and Illinois are the leading
corn crop producers. Corn is also grown in
western Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
Minnesota, and Nebraska. Once the corn is
harvested, it is used for different products.
2. The Wheat Belt is found in the Great Plains.
Kansas and North Dakota produce the most wheat
in the region. The wheat is ground into flour. The
flour is then used in products like pasta, cakes, and
bread.
3. The Dairy Belt. Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Michigan are the region's dairy states. In fact,
Wisconsin is known for its cheese, milk, and
butter. Grass grows quickly in the Dairy Belt.
The tall grass is used to feed cattle so they
produce the milk we need for dairy products.

were pioneers- people who go to live in a new place.

Over 70 million people live in the 12 states of the Midwest. But

more then half of these people live in just 3 states: Illinois, Ohio,
and Michigan.
Why don`t more people live in the other nine states’ the main
reason is that the 9 states are where the farms are. Farms need lots
of space.

Philippians 4:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ

Jesus

13. “You shall not murder”.

After seeing the RAM, Abraham takes it and sacrifices it to God, and it is there when
he calls the name of that place "Jehovah will provide" or "The Lord will provide" and
as we can read, it does so in future time, because it is probable that what he saw at
that time was not just a Lamb to be sacrificed, but receives the revelation that God
will someday provide a perfect lamb for forgiveness of the sins of all mankind.
Wonderful moment!

What can you reflect on the biblical principle?

What should you do to provide the perfect lamb?
