The Bighorn Basin meets Yellowstone National Park with the Shoshone River providing irrigation water through established canal systems. The Absaroka Range creates dramatic western boundaries above farming and ranching areas.
Irrigated farming produces sugar beets, malting barley, and alfalfa along river corridors, while cattle and sheep ranching utilizes both valley pastures and mountain summer range. Tourist proximity influences some direct marketing and agritourism ventures.
