Farmers in the area produce crops such as barley, canola, flax, oats, peas, sunflowers, durum and Hard Red Spring Wheat. The town is home to a Lutheran, a Methodist, and a Roman Catholic church. The VOA article quoted a town resident who pointed out that that the town's three Christian congregations often hold services together. Businesses in the town include Dacotah Bank, SunPrairie Grain (a division of CHS Incorporated ), Savage Industries, Peterson's Department Store, and Winzy's Drive-In. During a VOA reporter's visit, the town's main street included a boarded-up hotel, caf ฉ, hardware store, bowling alley, and a grocery store. Featured Homes in Bowbells, ND
