Today, agriculture remains the heartbeat of Preston's economy, with corn and soybeans stretching across the fertile plains, their stalks whispering secrets in the summer breeze. Beyond the fields, a quiet industry hums, supporting the agricultural backbone and fostering a sense of self-reliance. Preston also holds a unique charm with its well-preserved architecture and a community spirit that feels both enduring and welcoming, a place where the past is not forgotten but lives vibrantly in the present.
