Agriculture is defined by Merriam-Webster as the science, art, or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock and in varying degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products.
Agriculture is a large portion of our economy in Idaho and directly effects every one's life everyday even though most people never think of it. I want this blog to help people realize how agriculture effects them and how being a smart consumer helps both the consumer and the producer.
This is my first post. As the growing season is fast approaching full swing, I plan on posting entries and photos of crops here in the Treasure Valley and throughout Idaho as they are planted, cultivated, irrigated, and harvested.
I hope to base many of my future posts off of feedback, ideas and questions from readers, so please let me know what you would like my to cover. Anything from a specific crop to growing techniques such as organic and sustainable to following the product from field to table.
Thank you for reading.
