After World War II, manufacturing moved into the Ozarks in a big way. Much of the manufacturing in the smaller towns involved clothing and shoes. Some of the ones I remember are Big Smith work clothes, Bone Dry work shoes and boots, Jumping Jack children's shoes, and Brown Shoes, and I'm sure there were many others. With the completion of reservoirs and the growth in canoeing, manufacturing of boats and trailers became important, and we saw Loweline and Tracker boats and Buffalo and Osagan canoes, while home-built boats made of car hoods or plywood disappeared. Employment for aerospace and defense contractors rises and falls.

Manufacturing and fabrication of equipment for livestock and poultry facilities, crop production (especially irrigation equipment) and food and dairy processing continues, but is affected by the movement of the dairy industry out of the Ozarks and changes away from crop farming in favor of grazing beef cattle.

But overall, manufacturing has left the Ozarks for the same reason that it came: cheaper labor costs.

Yes, you can take a US registered boat to Canada, however you will have to pay fees for both the boat and for each fisherman in your party, but you might run into an insurance problem, so talk to your local guy and he can advise you on a rider for Canada. Good news is that the fees are not that bad, and the fishing is fantastic. Good Luck!

Edit: If your just going fishing, there is a very simple process at the border to get the temporary permits for the boat and fishing licenses. There's no import paper work required. The last time I did this was before 911 but the fee was $30 Canadian and $15 for each person fishing. I needed the Car insurance for Canada which my State Farm agent provided before the trip. And each of us had Passports, but at that time a Drivers license was all that was required. I'd bet you can get a temp. registration for the boat…… Good Luck!
