The County of Brant is proud to be home to such a strong agricultural community, with over 165,000 acres of utilized farm land and over 1,000 people employed.While the most produced crops in Brant are oilseed and grains (like wheat and soy beans), many farmers are focused on growing produce like fruits and vegetables, or they are raising livestock like chickens, cattle and/or pigs.
