Percentage of Land for Agriculture, by county, 1940

There is a higher concentration of farming in the Northeast in 1880-1900. With an almost insane 72% of land being cultivated in 1900. By the 1940, farming had become more widespread, with most regions that are not desert having at least 10% of their land dedicated to farming. North Texas has also developed substantially since 1900, I wonder if it has something to do with mechanized farming or something else.
