Economy and Infrastructure
Economy including agriculture and forestry
In 1998 there were four in the field of agriculture and forestry , 148 in the manufacturing sector and 28 in the trade and transport sector at the place of work. In other economic sectors, 87 people were employed at the place of work subject to social security contributions. There were a total of 828 employees at the place of residence subject to social security contributions. There were two in manufacturing (as well as mining and quarrying of stones and earth) and four in the construction industry . In addition, in 1999 there were 41 farms with an agricultural area of 1052 hectares. All farms are specialized dairy farms that exclusively cultivate permanent grassland. Arable farming - including maize cultivation - is uneconomical due to the climatic conditions. The milk produced is mainly processed into hard cheese ( Emmental , mountain cheese ) in cheese factories .
Eleven farms have joined together to form a dairy cooperative that produces cheese for direct marketing in the Lehern district. The Emmental cheese produced here meets the requirements of the Allgäu Emmentaler (PDO).
