Editing Crook County, Oregon (section)

==Economy==
Forest products, agriculture, livestock raising and recreation/tourism services constitute Crook County's total economy. Agriculture is supported by the development of irrigation districts, which permits the raising of hay, grain, mint, potatoes, and seed. Range and forest lands allow grazing for a sizable livestock industry. The [[Ochoco National Forest]]'s stand of ponderosa pine is the main source of lumber. Tourism and recreation help round out the economy. Thousands of hunters, fishers, boaters, sightseers and rockhounds are annual visitors to its streams, reservoirs and the [[Ochoco Mountains]]. The Prineville Chamber of Commerce provides access to over {{convert|1,000|acre|km2}} of mining claims to [[rockhound]]s, who can dig for free [[agate]]s, limb casts, [[jasper]] and [[thunderegg]]s.
