The temperatures are warming, and the snow is melting away. It is nearly time for farmers to plant again. While most people are thinking about spring break, farmers across the state are wondering how to make this year’s crop successful. Bryan Searle is the President of the Farm Bureau Federation. He wrote the following in a column titled "Farming is not for the faint of heart." “Idaho farmers are among the best in the world. They know how to raise a crop and they do that very well. That’s something they have control over. But, they also are at the mercy of the many things they do not control. Agriculture is truly a gamble and farmers and ranchers — to a large degree — roll the dice every year."
