Editing Warren, Minnesota (section)

==Economy==
Agriculture and [[agribusiness]] have been the mainstays of Warren throughout its history.  In fact, for most of its history, there has been no other industry at all. Although the [[Red River Valley]] has a short growing season, which is often made even shorter due to floods, the area has excellent crop yields which help make farming in the area less risky than in other areas with poorer soil.  The principal crops are wheat, soybeans, potatoes, and sugar beets.  Warren was at one time home to the largest independent elevator in Minnesota.  Northwest Grain Cenex Harvest States Cooperative has a large elevator on the Soo Line, and the American Crystal Sugar Co. operates a sugar beet terminal just north of Warren during harvest.  Warren has three bank branches, the largest being a branch of Community Bank of the Red River Valley, headquartered in East Grand Forks.
