The northern Big Country and Rolling Plains have no industry. The fields are fallow and there hasn't been economic vitality in 40 years. The last real boom was 1945 for some, 1929 for the rest. This region is heavily dependent on Community Services Block Grants and Community Development Block Grants along with Medicare and Medicaid funding. It will approach 1932 levels of poverty and people will have to move to the cities.
