Grown Here, Consumed... Everywhere!

Today at the Soroptimist Intl of Pasco-Kennewick Program meeting, Rebecca Weber, Intl Trade Specialist for the WA State Dept. of Agriculture spoke to the impact of agriculture on Washington's economy and employment. Ag production and processing comprises 12% of our economy! Cool, huh? Do you know which four crops are Washington State's highest producers? Hint: apples, milk, wheat and potatoes. And WA is #1 in the U.S. for our production of mint, raspberries and hops! If you'd been at the meeting, you'd already know this stuff!!
"Hops" to see you at 5th Tuesday on August 31!!
