North Dakota
North Dakota is the most rural of all the states, with farms covering more than 90% of the land.

Situated in the geographical center of North America, North Dakota is subject to the extremes of a continental climate. Semiarid conditions prevail in the western half of the state, but in the east an average annual rainfall of 22 in., much of it falling in the crop-growing spring and summer months, enables the rich soil to yield abundantly.
