Welcome to Idaho and the Northwest!  Here in the great state of Idaho you can experience the best life possible.  If you love the outdoors, nature, wildlife, animals, plants, water and geology, this is the place to visit or live.  I grew up in south Idaho around the Hagerman and Glenns Ferry areas, moved to Moscow in 1965 to attend the University of Idaho, and  graduated from the College of Agriculture with a degree in Agriculture Biochemistry.   In June 1970 I started work for Dr. Maynard Fosberg in the Agriculture Biochemistry and Soils Department doing soil analyses.   I have been around long enough to see the department change several times and the first agriculture wing built.  Now the new Biotechnology wing is in full operation next the the present Agriculture College.
