Prior to 2011, almost 120 acres were used for crops and irrigated pasture.  After 2011, nearly 100 was enrolled into the Wetland Reserve Program. The best crop land was preserved for agricultural production.  Approximately 18 acres were fallowed for three years, from 2012, 2013 and 2014, and transformed to becoming certified for organic production.  In 2015, the crop ground was leased and produced organically certified sweet corn.  The next year the land produced organic bush beans. Since 2017, the crop ground was leased for production of industrial hemp.
