August 28, 20159 yr Owner Just you wait.... When you come up here and drive from Boise, ID to Lewiston, ID and see what is actually here you be kind of shocked.
August 28, 20159 yr Author I believe I had to much time on my hands last night. Once I found the huge potato i couldn't stop. It's like a disease.
August 31, 20159 yr Owner Dave is just plain nuts about Idaho Potatoes. So why not ask your boss to send you out to Idaho to build out here...
August 31, 20159 yr Author As I remember someone told that they did not grow potatoes in Idaho and I developed a curiosity on said potatoes.
August 31, 20159 yr Owner They do but mostly in the south part of the state. Most of the west side (where I'm at) is all wheat fields. (Grangeville Idaho)
August 31, 20159 yr Author The potato museum is in the SE par of the state. Did not know you had flat lands that close to you. You could be out in Kansas or Nebraska if it wasn't for the hill in the back ground.
August 31, 20159 yr Owner Most all potato production is down in the south east corner of the state. The famous potato comment is a bit over blown being that there is more wheat grow that potatoes. There is also rape seed (canola oil), barely, hay (alfalfa hay), etc. As for potatoes I've live here on the west side for 25 years and never seen a potato farm yet.
August 31, 20159 yr Author Rape seed is one of the ingredients of bio diesel also. Cant remember it it is biomass or bio blend. Not sure who ever controls it knows either. They seem to overlap one another from what i have read.
