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.

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.

Dave is just plain nuts about Idaho Potatoes. So why not ask your boss to send you out to Idaho to build out here...

As I remember someone told that they did not grow potatoes in Idaho and I developed a curiosity on said potatoes.

[Mopar1973Man]

They do but mostly in the south part of the state. Most of the west side (where I'm at) is all wheat fields.

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.

Now that's potato country but not out here on the west side.

So "Idaho Potato".................is an "oxymoron"??!!!

[dripley]

Oh no!! just google Idaho potatoes and see what comes up.

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.

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.

Funny Idaho has very little sales of Biodiesel. Oregon is B% minimum.
