Agricultural and agricultural processing are the economic strength of this region.  Corporate and family farms growing asparagus, cherries, peaches, pears, apples, plums, corn, squash, pork, and dairy cows can be found throughout Oceana County.  High-tech commodity processing complements our agriculture industry, providing jobs of varying skillsets.  Our second largest industry is tourism which brings hundreds of seasonal jobs and opportunities to the region.
