West Point is a nucleus of communities dedicated to and involved in agriculture. From conception to consumer, the area is united through relationships of individuals, organizations including the West Point Chamber of Commerce, to herald the impact of agriculture on our local, state and national economy.

West Point and the area can boast of its unique relationships and influence with leaders locally, statewide and nationally. Cuming County, of which West Point is the County Seat, is and has been ranked in the top 10 counties nationally in agricultural production. This rating is not taken lightly or for granted as it is a status that is respected and envied by others. This ranking does not just happen, it is a result of involved caretakers who not only take care of their individual businesses but engage others at all levels.

Agribusiness ranges from production of livestock, row crop and hay to the end products used by consumers. In this area our range includes and employs row crop production experts, farm implement sales and service, seed dealers, fertilizer and chemical distributors and applicators, fuel, oil, tire sales and service, elevators, feed sales, veterinarians, livestock caretakers, UNL Extension Educators, nutrient consultants - both of livestock and the by products, transportation - delivery by truck/semi, ag engineers, construction and dirt moving experts, concrete services, grain and food processing, manufacturing, banking, credit providers, insurance carriers, and office/business personnel, accountants and professional bookkeepers.
