Idaho farmers are working to conserve water, but several consecutive years of drought is taking a toll.
“Because we grow so much seed here in the Treasure Valley we can’t afford to have two or three years in a row of drought, and that’ll mean we’ll have to grow the seed somewhere else because the seed is so important,” said farmer and president of the Washington County Farm Bureau.
