Mouth-watering apples, peaches, cherries, and apricots <br />grown in the area are famous throughout the nation. Hay and grain <br />raised on irrigated lands provide feed in winter for cattle that graze <br />on nearby mountain ranges in the summer. Some local industry has <br />developed to process the crops, but most of the fruit and livestock are <br />shipped out. A more stable water supply would stabilize the agricultural <br />economy and encourage more processing plants. <br />The Bureau of Reclamation built the present Fruitgrowers Dam at <br />Harts Basin in 1937 to replace one that failed the year before. <br /> <br /> <br />Apple harvest in the Cedaredge area <br /> <br />- .~., .-- ,--". .... ~... _. 0"," - ...~ ...._.___.___~__ "___"_~~_.T__'e .__"_'_~.
