The Midwest often is referred to as the "breadbasket" of the United States because of their grain production, particularly wheat and corn, has dominated the agriculture and the food. [ Native American influences are not unknown, as the Midwest is a major producer of wild rice. In addition, beef and pork processing always have been important Midwestern industries, with Chicago and Kansas City.
