Fruit orchards, particularly between Grand Junction and Palisade to the east, remain important to the region's reputation and economy to the present day. Fruits most often grown are peaches, pears, apricots, plums, cherries, and, particularly since the 1980s, grapes for wine. In this semi-arid environment, these orchards thrive from a combination of abundant sunshine and irrigation from a system of canals that divert water from the Colorado River. </p><p>Attempts were made to establish sugar beet farming and beet sugar production. The Grand Valley Sugar Company established a campaign in 1893, sending three train carloads to the <a href="/wiki/Utah-Idaho_Sugar_Company" title="Utah-Idaho Sugar Company">Utah-Idaho Sugar Company</a>.

The oil embargoes of the 1970s and high gas prices resulted in major financial interest in the region. Exxon purchased rights and used Grand Junction as its seat of operations. The city and the surrounding <a href="/wiki/Grand_Valley_(Colorado-Utah)" class="mw-redirect" title="Grand Valley (Colorado-Utah)">Grand Valley</a> became prosperous in the 1970s and early 1980s largely because of the effects of <a href="/wiki/Oil_shale" title="Oil shale">oil shale</a> development. The United States, western Colorado in particular, has the largest-known concentration of oil shale in the world (according to the Bureau of Land Management) and holds an estimated 800 gigabarrels of recoverable oil, enough to meet U.S. demand for oil at current levels for 110 years. Known as the "Rock That Burns", the shale can be mined and processed to produce oil. In the past it was significantly more expensive than conventional oil. Sustained prices above $95 per barrel, however, may make extraction economically attractive in the coming years (see <a href="/wiki/Oil_shale_economics" title="Oil shale economics">Oil shale economics</a>). ExxonMobil pulled out of the region because of lower oil prices, which led to economic hardship in the region. </p><p>The economic bust, known as "Black Sunday" (May 2, 1982) to the locals, started with a phone call from the president of Exxon to Governor <a href="/wiki/Richard_Douglas_Lamm" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Douglas Lamm">Richard Douglas Lamm</a>, stating that Exxon would cut its losses while retaining mining rights to the (then and currently) uneconomic oil.

Colorado historian <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Noel_(historian)" title="Thomas Noel (historian)">Tom Noel</a> observed, "I think that was a definite turning point, and it was a reminder that we were a boom-and-bust state ...

Major contributors to the economy were health care, tourism, agriculture, livestock, and energy mining (gas and oil). Major energy companies had once again invested large amounts of money due to increases in oil and natural gas prices (such as in the years 2005–2008). However, a major drop (in the summer of 2008) of market <a href="/wiki/Natural_gas" title="Natural gas">natural gas</a> prices led to reduced gas well drilling and related capital expenditures in the area, significantly slowing the Grand Junction economy in 2009.
