Major crops grown in the area are soybeans and corn.
Honeybees are not prevalent in the community, and there is a yearly infestation of cucumber beetles and squash bugs, which make it difficult to grown melons, squash or cucumbers. Wild grapes grow profusely in the surrounding woods and fence lines, indicating an ideal habitat for vineyards. Mullberries, Morels, Black Walnuts, Hickories, Chokecherries, Apples, Grapes, and Asparagras, are common wild foods found in the area. It typically rains several times a week, and the sun rarely shines for a full day. It is a rare treat when the stars are visible, and then, they are but a dim resemblance of the brilliance of the stars that are visible in the high mountains .
