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. Sugar beets are
processed at an American Crystal Sugar Company plant located
in Drayton, North Dakota, about 20 miles southwest of
Hallock. This is one of five such processing plants located
in the Red River Valley.
