The Interior Plains of Canada are important because they contain both mineral and forest resources which provide raw materials for industry and rich soils for farming. The southern and eastern region contains fertile soils and sufficient rainfall to support wheat farming. The region is called the Bread Basket of Canada. The northern region contains forested lands, with the trees exploited for lumber, pulp, and paper.
