Since the late 1800's agriculture has provided a vibrant culture and reliable economy for Churchill County residents. There is a great deal of diversity in the 68,973 irrigated acres in Churchill County. Currently there are numerous historical crops and specialty crops grown in the valley, such as corn, alfalfa, grass hay, wheat, teff, flowers and vegetables. Some farmers are even turning to organic practices to stay abreast of current market trends. The production of milk, a stable agriculture commodity, uses water from the historic Newlands Project. Many beef cattle ranchers call Churchill County, with its access to public grazing lands, home. Please visit Lahontan Valley Environmental Alliance’s website at www.lvea.org for more information.

When completed in 2004, Fallon’s state-of-the-art water treatment facility was one of the first of its type in the nation.

With a capacity of 9.7 million gallons per day, the City of Fallon water treatment plant currently serves approximately 3,500 hookups and nearly 9,500 people within the City.
