Primary commodities are winter wheat and beef cattle, which inject millions of dollars into the local economy. Custer County produces 5.7 million bushels of wheat, and a recent rebound in the cattle market has made this type of farming more attractive. These endeavors often leave time for farmers to pursue other interests and income-producing activities.

Other agricultural products from this region include peanuts, cotton, corn, and soybeans.
