agricultural town
Rural crop settlement
An agricultural town is a settlement whose economy and character center on farming.
Such towns typically serve surrounding rural areas, providing equipment suppliers, grain elevators, livestock auctions, and seasonal labor.
The agricultural town emptied out when the harvest ended.
The term distinguishes these communities from industrial, mining, or coastal towns.
