==Economy== [[File:Wallowa County Courthouse, Enterprise - DPLA - 53613a84ffad1941f1416466a99e8574.jpg|thumb|right|Building on E Main St., Enterprise, Oregon, across from the [[Wallowa County Courthouse]]]]The Wallowa Memorial Hospital is a primary employer in the area. Many cattlemen and farmers live in the Enterprise area, including representatives of the Oregon Cattleman's Association, the Wallowa County Stockgrowers, and other groups. Livestock continues to be the largest sector of Wallowa County's agricultural economy, which is vastly dominated by cattle. There are currently over 24,000 mother cows in the permanent herds with an additional 8,000 cattle from other areas grazing for the summer. There is nearly 5,000 head of sheep that summer in the county. These operations produce over $17.9 million of farm gate sales. The crops portion of agriculture is much more diversified with nearly 9,000 acres of wheat, 4,200 acres of barley, with nearly 29,000 acres of hay (alfalfa, grass, and grain) grown. Added to the incidental "tree farm" income, crops in Wallowa County produce over $25 million. The total agricultural farm gate sales for Wallowa County was $43,519,000 in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wallowacounty.org/categories/agriculture.php |title=Agriculture in Wallowa County: Crops in Wallowa County: 2007 Report |publisher=Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce |access-date=August 25, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304230526/http://www.wallowacounty.org/categories/agriculture.php |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Enterprise has several commercial greenhouses that sell nursery stock and numerous individuals within the local community also grow vegetables in private greenhouses.
