Located in both the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States, between South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, Nebraska is characterized by treeless prairie (ideal for cattle-grazing), and is a major producer of beef, as well as pork, corn, and soybeans. The climate has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures, and violent thunderstorms and tornadoes are common. Its capital is Lincoln, and its largest city is Omaha, on the Missouri River.
