The main crops are wheat, rice, cotton, maize (corn), sugar cane, etc. The primary fruits and vegetables that are harvested are mango, gauva, carrots, potatoes,orange and okra.Mostly canals are six monthly.

Formerly known as Ajoodhun , it was renamed Pak Pattan (meaning "Clean Lan" in old Punjabi) after arrival of Sufi Saint Baba Fareed whose shrine is located here - today people come all over the world to pass through a gate called "Bahishti Darwaza" or Heavens Gate to the shrine from the 1st of Muharram to 5th of Muharram every year.Hazrat BABA FAREED was the greatest personailty of India liked by ALLAH Subhana o ta`ala,BABA Fareed (R.A.) was married out with the daughter of the King of that era,Ghayyas-ud-din Balban. The founder of the Sikh Faith Guru Nanak had reverence to Baba Fareed and hence Sikhs also come here to pay tribute. In 1770 after a battle between Mobarak Khan II of Bahawalpur and Hari Singh, it was agreed that "the neutral town of Pakpattan, held by a Musalman saint of eminence, should be the common boundary"[2] Close to Pak Patan is Mlaka Hans where famous Punjabi poet Waris Shah wrote his famous love story "Heer Waris Shah". After independence from Britain in 1947 it became a district in Province Punjab of Pakistan.

Pakpattan is so deeply influenced by Baba Fareed that a lot of shops have their names on the name of Baba Fareed.
