Correct. Plains grass grown, and plowed under, are what make (for example, Iowa) farmland so fertile.

As an aside, when settlers were settling America, they gravitated to the most fertile areas and built civilizations. But their towns grew into massive metropolitan areas and now, some of our best farmland is underneath tons of concrete and steel.

Detroit, New York, etc.

I’ve been watching our local farmers plow under for almost 80 years...they work sooooo hard.
