IDAHO FALLS — The EastIdahoNews.com team is highlighting different jobs in our community and today we are workin’ it on the farm.
It’s potato harvest time across eastern Idaho and we decided to spend some time in a field to see what it takes to bring the state’s most well-known vegetable to our plates.
Farmers are working sunrise to sunset this month making sure the harvest is a success and Zach Newman of Brett Jensen Farms spent some time showing us how it’s done.
