The largest economic business in the Town is agriculture. There are a number of dairy and beef operations. The primary crops grown are corn, sweet corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and winter wheat. There are also a number of small farms that grow garden vegetables and fruits for sale at local farmers markets and CSA's where, for a fee, members receive a share of the fruits and vegetables grown and they share the risk.
