PampasThe pampas are also well known as fields.
They are open area covered by grass that are
located in the south of Brazil, and in other
countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, etc. The
climate is subtropical, with warm temperatures,
and constant rains with little alteration during
the whole year. The soil in general is good and
therefore its use in  agriculture is substantial.
The main economic activity, however, is the
cattle raising. In this area is found the best
cattle herds of Brazil. Most of the meats for
export leaves the south fields. The vegetation
is almost only composed by grass. while there are
found some trees and bushes close to streams and
rivers.  -------------------
