Why Idaho

Idaho's lower Snake River Valley, named the Treasure Valley, is blessed with an abundance of well managed family farms, a more than adequate supply of water for irrigation and four great mountain ranges. These ranges result in one of the mildest air movement systems in the continental United States - ideal for wind pollinated crops. Another advantage is the area's dry desert climate, with cool nights and warm days. The dry air impedes diseases common to areas of the country with higher humidity. The cool nights give the plants "time to grow."
