Here people would say AG and tourism. The AG part is a lie. It really employs very few people. Our county has a couple of equipment dealers that's about 100-150 people total. A few elevators and AG related businesses. Maybe another 500 total. That's out of a total of about 57,000 people. Add in the actual farmers and their employees you got maybe 2500 people making a living from AG. So the other it tourism. "Heart of the Lakes" is what they call the area and when they are here the counties population jumps to well over 100,000. Most of these people are setting pretty good and they spend a lot of money here. Most of the jobs supporting tourism don't pay well and some are seasonal work. The county seat has a Wal Mart, Target and Home Depot. Again not great jobs. We do have an ethanol plants that is struggling. I guess right now at current corn prices it's doing OK but if prices spike again I don't think it will last. It employs less than 100 people.
