The local economy blends administration, agro-industry of the chalk plain (cereals, alfalfa, sugar beet — the Champagne crayeuse is an agricultural breadbasket) and logistics around Vatry. The Foire de Châlons, a major national agricultural fair, marks every September. Drone missions: precision agriculture, logistics construction monitoring, heritage, urban thermography.
