## Description

Southwest Kansas runs on cattle: the high plains around Garden City hold some of the nation's largest feedlots and beef-packing plants, including the giant Tyson operation at nearby Holcomb. None of that beef flies out of Garden City Regional, which offers regional passenger flights - American Eagle to Dallas/Fort Worth, United Express to Denver - but no scheduled freighters. Chilled meat moves by refrigerated truck and rail, while urgent air cargo routes through the state anchor, ICT in Wichita, or via Denver. At nearly 2,900 feet, this is feedlot and wheat country, not a cargo base.
