Agriculture and Manufacturing In Garfield County

 


     Garfield County has huge rangelands and several of Utah's largest forest reserves.  Because of these areas, cattle ranching is one of the county's most essential industries.  Also, since there are so many trees in the forests, lumber has been a primary industry since pioneer times.

     Another thing that the land in this county does is make a place for people to visit.  In 1928, Bryce Canyon National Park was created.  This park and other beautiful places in the area helped Garfield County's tourism industry grow.



                    


Unfortunately, since lumbering and tourism are only seasonal industries, unemployment is sometimes high.
