The major agricultural enterprise in this area is cattle ranching. Cattle prices are regarded as quite good, which has a positive effect on the restaurant and beverage consumption. The employment situation is resurging quite strong at the Absaloka Coal Mine. Located four miles east of Spring Creek Resort. The resurgence is because a power plant in Minnesota had a major explosion two years ago, and was not taking coal. The power plant is nearly rebuilt and is expected to be on line and taking coal in March.

Also, the spur line that transports coal to the BNRR is being upgraded to allow coal to be rail transported to the west coast. Personnel from the mine are looking to hire a substantial increase in employees. These factors increase business from the convenience store, restaurant, bar, trailer and R.V. Park. There are presently about 22 parking spaces and about are presently rented out.
