Reply #92: ESPECIALLY the part where the potatoes are grown! [View All]

Potatoes are flood-irrigated in Idaho, and the only place that's flat enough to do it that way is South Idaho.

As for our politics in Idaho, let's put it this way: For most of this state's history, the part where they grow the potatoes has been North Utah. It's got 75 percent of the population, 25 percent of the wealth (the silver and lead we dig up in the North are a hell of a lot more valuable than the potatoes, onions and sugar beets they dig up down there) and 95 percent of the religious zealots.
