If it weren’t for this stabilizing force in the area economy we would feel greater effects from the economic downturn. An Idaho Press Tribune article stated, “the Treasure Valley’s agriculture players have continued churning out wheat, meat, milk and other essentials as other industries stumble through their biggest slump in decades.
