    The Midwest region was settled primarily by immigrants from Britain, Germany, and Scandinavia. It is considered the nation's "breadbasket" due to its fertile soil, adequate rainfall, and favorable climate for producing large quantities of corn, wheat, soybeans, meat, and dairy goods. The Midwest's central location and waterway access has made it an important center for trade, transportation, and distribution. Chicago serves as the cultural, financial, and transportation hub of the Midwest. Currently, the number of farms is declining as more jobs are provided in services. Midwest cities are expanding through suburban growth while some residents and industries relocate to warmer regions of the South and West. From 1950 to 2000, the farm population shrank by 22
