<br />Area <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The elevation of Eagle and the cooler temperatures experienced at <br /> <br />that elevation almost prohibit the production of any agricultural crops <br /> <br />other than grass and hay for livestock purposes. At one time, the high <br /> <br />mountain valleys near Eagle produced some of the finest lettuce crops <br /> <br />available. This particular crop thrives in the cooler temperatures at <br /> <br />an elevation such as this. Ho~ever, the production of this crop in the <br /> <br />Eagle valley has declined since World War II to the point where lettuce <br /> <br />is no longer a commercial crop. Area cattle producers find the summer <br /> <br />ranges in the surrounding hills to their liking. <br /> <br />,0 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 4 - <br /> <br />. <br />
