Farming is one of the reasons that Idaho today is one of the most fiscally strong states in the nation.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> The Sweepstakes marks an amazing time for IPC. Along with the exciting time of year, come many more promotions from the Committee including the Great Big Idaho® Potato Truck which assists Meals on Wheels and will debut in May.
