items 5, 6, and 7 — muck and truck; herds and milk; orchards and small fruit
The marsh edge made a second agriculture inside the first:The county's mint fame belongs to the muck townships of the county's south — another build's ground — and is pointed to, not claimed. The dairy county stands at profile size: the county's milk sales of some $8.49 million in 2022 measure a working dairy economy riding the corn system's acres; no creamery, herd, or milk route is named for this township in the record reached, and the dairy article prints that limit plainly rather than borrowing the county's creameries. Orchards stand at one named line and one money line: Isaac Newton Miller, "owner of the township's best peach orchard," in Chapman's roll — the township's orchard record at sketch strength — and, at county size, the nursery and greenhouse line of $6.06 million, fourth in the state, which is where this county's fruit-and-plant economy lives in the modern count. Small fruit beyond the orchard line is not carried in the record reached and is not invented.
