Museum: Agriculture In Idaho Panel 5 - Specialty Crops
Following the construction of the Libby Dam, valley farmers no longer faced the threat of the Kootenai River floods. The small family farms began to expand into much larger farms and ranches. New experimental, specialized crops began to emerge: seed potatoes, hops, and various grass seed crops. Diversification continued as the County became a leading producer of Christmas trees and later on, a vast array of cold-hardy nursery stock species that have been grown experimentally, with increasing success. The hops and nursery industries are some of the largest employers of agricultural workers.
