Increased precipitation provides a good supply of soil moisture, but reduces flexibility for the timing of spring planting and increases soil erosion. The avoidance of heat stress and longer growing seasons have favored agricultural production in some parts of the region in some years. Increased rainfull from April to June, an increase in the frost-free season due to an earlier last spring frost, and increasing humidity are all recent agriculturally important climate trends. Annually, over $1 billion in fruit and nut crops are produced in the eight U.S. Tree fruits such as apples, cherries, and peaches have been a specialty of the Great Lakes region for more than 150 years. Crops in the region vary from corn, soybeans, and wheat in the southern and western portions of the region to fruit orchards and vineyards in the northern and eastern portions. Agricultural production represents a significant portion of regional land use and is responsible for a major portion of the Great Lakes’ economy.
