The Peace Garden State

North Dakota is the 17th largest state in the union and the most rural of all the states. That, coupled with a relatively low population, ensures lots of space for each person. Farms covering more than 90% of the land and both cattle and horse ranches abound in North Dakota. If the “western” lifestyle is what you are looking for then this might be the place for you!

Known for its waterfowl, grouse, pheasant, deer hunting, bass, trout, and pike fishing, North Dakota has 20 state parks and recreation areas.

North Dakota ranks first in the nation's production of spring and durum wheat and other products include barley, rye, sunflowers, dry edible beans, honey, oats, flaxseed, sugar beets, hay, beef cattle, sheep, and hogs. Recently, manufacturing industries have grown, especially food processing and farm equipment. The state's coal and oil reserves are plentiful, and it also produces natural gas, lignite, clay, sand and gravel. The Garrison Dam on the Missouri River provides extensive irrigation and produces 400,000 kilowatts of electricity for the Missouri Basin areas.
