The largest employer in the District is Trans World Airlines, which has recently been acquired by America Airlines. Farmland, Ford Motor Company, Bayer, and Harley Davison also employ thousands of employees each in the 6th District. For the remainder of the District, the commercial focus is on the main street small businesses, farms, and agribusinesses. Corn, soybeans, sorghum, cattle, and hogs are still the mainstay on the farms of the 6th District. However, a new ethanol plant in Craig and talks of an identity-preserved soybean crushing plant in Chillicothe could significantly change the focus of North Missouri agriculture.
Education is an important part of the entire district.
While the 6th District is diverse in its distance from point to point covering more square miles than 5 states in the nation, it is unified by the hardworking and caring values of the people that live there.
