Manitoba's geography includes [[prairie]]s, tree-covered [[plain]]s, [[forest]]s, and [[taiga]].  The climate is continental, characterized by large seasonal [[temperature]] ranges and low [[precipitation]]. European contact with Indian peoples occurred during the [[fur]] trade era, and increased when agricultural settlement began in the late 19th century. In the early 20th century, that settlement history produced a largely agrarian population concentrated on [[farm]]s and in communities across the prairie.

In 2006, provincial Gross Domestic Product was over $36 billion. Saskatchewan has what is called a "wheat economy" as most of its exports are agricultural.
