Grain and cereal production is the main enterprise during Summer. Other crops, such as, sugar beet, peas, maize and soybeans are also grown. Most farms have their own trucks for grain transportation and well equipped workshops.
Livestock mainly includes beef and dairy cattle and pigs, combined with crops.
Mostly young stock and cows are kept on permanent grazing during the Summer. In spite of the cold weather during the winter, beef cattle are kept outdoors. Herds vary from 40 to 3000 head. There are no straight beef placements . Dairy farms usually have herds from 35 to 250 cows, often in conjunction with crops.
