Yuma's dry, warm weather and fertile land have resulted in a thriving agricultural business, with crops like lettuce, broccoli, cantaloupe and lemons leading the way.

The climate has also given Yuma the honor of hosting both Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and Yuma Proving Ground, an Army training facility. Both of these facilities contribute significantly to Yuma's economy and prosperity.

The city also has a number of service clubs and organizations, such as the Elks and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
