Hey! There's a lot of Hay!

Here in farming country the harvest is beginning. Soon trucks hauling wheat potatoes onions and other crops will be everywhere on the roads. Big hay swathers are moving around now, the hay market is great the weather is perfect finally and they're "making hay while the sun shines".

Like onions? Chances are they are grown here in the Treasure Valley, the border area of Oregon and Idaho.

Eat french frys? Ore-Ida foods started here in Ontrario Oregon, Simplot is in Caldwell Idaho, one packs for McD's one for Burger King.

Back to hay, like cheese? A lot of area hay is "dairy quality" sold to local dairys (and shipped EVERYWHERE) the cows make the milk and it's shipped to the cheese plants.

A good farm economy is good for everyone. For me personally, I have an accepted offer on a small farm I've had listed!
