It is mainly a farming community, growing mostly sugar beets and corn.
The town has a library, school, fire department, two gas stations/convenience stores, three churches of different denominations as well as two bars. Most of the historical buildings are made of sandstone, due to the large sandstone cliffs to the north of the town.
