Agriculture
This region encompasses some of the finest farmland in North America and maybe the world. Agriculture is the cornerstone of Sunbelt’s economy. The fertile soil combined with unusually high temperatures and a long growing season makes this region the perfect place to grow many conventional and specialty crops.
Cereal grains and oilseeds make up a large portion of production for the area, but the climate is also well suited to sunflowers, corn, beans, field peas, potatoes, and a variety of different vegetable crops. The Rhineland area is one of the few areas in Canada well suited to growing soybeans. There are also some small livestock operations in the area.
Many businesses have set up shops to cater to the region's farmers. Throughout the community, businesses provide supplies, inputs and equipment ranging from seed, fertilizers and chemicals to equipment, parts and mechanical services.
