Farr West began as an agricultural center and has remained largely so into the present. Ranching plus raising of hay and grain were early endeavors, leading up to sugar beet production around the turn of the 20th century and then cash crops like onions and other vegetables. Today, this diversity has been reduced to large specialized enterprises in dairy and beef production.
Farr West, in an unusual attitude regarding growth, have taken steps to limit development and advance of urban sprawl from its neighbors.
