Grundy County has long been a great location for agricultural-based businesses. Area farms produce row crops such as soy beans, corn, wheat and more. Farmers also produce large numbers of cattle, chickens, pork, and turkeys as well.

A Top Agricultural County

Grundy County has a prosperous history in agriculture. Missouri repeatedly ranks in the top 10 states for the value of its sales of several agricultural commodities, including poultry and eggs; cattle and calves; hogs and pigs; and soybeans. The area’s workforce is skilled in food manufacturing, and the wages for these skill types in Grundy County are more affordable than the overall Missouri and U.S. averages. With competitive costs of doing business, excess water, and 20% of the U.S. population located within a day’s drive, the Food Processing and Agriculture industry continues to be a natural fit for the region.
