Great hop pictures! I worked as office manager for a hop farm here in Idaho
for about 15 years so I'm well aware of what hops are. :-) Even learned to like the pungent smell of hops when they were harvested. NEVER learned to like the smell of hop trash (what's left after the cones are shaken off the vines). In the winter, you did NOT want to follow a truck that was hauling the hop trash out to spread on the fields. -- Donna in Idaho Reply to daawra3553 at yahoo dot com wrote in message oups.com...

I guess rotten potatoes and rotten fermented hop vines are probably pretty
much equal in the stink category! -- Donna in Idaho Reply to daawra3553 at yahoo dot com "2fatbbq" wrote in message ... "Donna in Idaho" wrote in message ... Great hop pictures!

Where in Idaho are the hops grown? I live in Eastern Washington, might be
an interesting trip. Bill Two areas in Idaho - northern Idaho - almost to the Canadian border and the area around Caldwell, Parma, & Wilder, Idaho (southwest Idaho where I live). Not nearly as many hops being grown around here any more. The farm I worked for got completely out of the hop business a year after I retired and others have cut back on their acreage. Hops are terribly expensive to grow with lots of hand labor required and not as much money in them as there used to be. -- Donna in Idaho Reply to daawra3553 at yahoo dot com |

Not sure. When I first started working for the hop farm (1983) I think hop
growing in California had already disappeared. If not then, soon after. -- Donna in Idaho Reply to daawra3553 at yahoo dot com "notbob" wrote in message . .. Is that the reason hops completely disappeared from CA? nb ....3 summers on a Sacramento hops farm |
