Food, Progress, Opportunity: Happy National Manufacturing Day!

In Southern Idaho, we’re home to many manufacturing companies who not only feed, power and grow our region, but the world, too. Every day feels like Manufacturing Day here, but we’re happy to make it official today and explore the many ways we manufacture food, progress and opportunity in the scenic Magic Valley.

Manufacturing FOOD The cities in our region are agricultural centers as they’re located in the Magic Valley, where canals carried water from the Snake River to the desert soil to create today’s productive farmland. As “America’s Most Diverse Food Basket” and home to the world’s leading agribusiness and food manufacturing facilities, we’re proud to feed the world from Southern Idaho.

• #1 in Commercial Trout and Potatoes
• Home to leading food manufacturers like Chobani, Clif Bar, McCain Foods and Glanbia
• Top third of U.S. states for food processing
