Our Community:
Hallock is located in the Red River Valley, home of some of the
best soil for farming in the world. Therefore the agricultural
industry is a major influence in the area. However, within one-half hour's
drive are the northern tall-grass prairie, aspen park-land, and
northern Minnesota forested areas. Because of its location, Hallock
is a diverse community with many different opportunities and
activities.
Building blocks of the community are its facilities, including
quality schools, hospital & nursing home, Kittson County Courthouse,
dentists, optometrist, and pharmacy. Other businesses include
several construction firms, newspaper, and many service related
businesses. Hallock also has a world class water supply. Please

Agriculture:
Agriculture is the major industry of the Hallock area. Farmers
depend on Hallock and Hallock depends on farmers. Located in the
heart of the productive Red River Valley, farming and its related
industries provide a large share of the employment and tax base for
the community. Wheat and barley are the major small grains grown.
Sugar beets and sunflowers are specialty crops well suited for this
area. Hallock is conveniently located for marketing and processing
of raw products. Two large grain elevators have "unit train"
capabilities as well as sufficient storage space for the harvest.
