Idaho is a growing and diverse state with all kinds of people living within its borders and all kinds of new and interesting things going on in that same area. It has boundless and beautiful wildernesses, large and advanced technology companies, and some of the best outdoor recreation you can find on the planet, but this is probably not what Idaho is really known for (At least outside of the state). Idaho is still an agricultural powerhouse in the United States and abroad and that is probably not going to change for a long time.

What are the major products that the…
