[13] Agriculture remains an integral part of life in Fletcher as the grain elevator, once owned by the Shepard Grain Company, is now owned by Urbana-based Champaign Landmark Inc.. An AT&T microwave radio relay tower (now abandoned) once provided several jobs for area residents.

It remains standing (with the ear-shaped antennas now removed) a mile east of the village along U.S. Route 36.

AT&T continued to operate the tower until the advent of fiber-optic cables and satellites which led to the replacement for the underground coaxial cable network and the use of the 318-foot steel structure now sitting vacant within the eastern Miami County farm fields.
