Trout#1 Nationally and #1 State • South central Idaho accounts for 77% of the food size trout pounds sold nationally. • Spring water is the key to the success of producing and marketing this mainstay of both hunting lodges and fine dining establishments—the aquifer provides a constant 58 degrees and pristine spring water for the trout producers. • Clear Springs Foods produced approximately 25 million pounds of trout in 2013 growing 13.6 percent from 2012.

Regional Economic Impact SIEDO Farm Bureau Annual Banquet
University of Idaho Ag Updateby Steve Hines, Joel Packham & Garth Taylor, 2012 • One of every three jobs is directly or indirectly related to agriculture in south-central Idaho. • One of every three $1 dollar sales are directly or indirectly related to agriculture. • “Fifty-four percent of the farm gate receipts in the state come from the six counties in the Magic Valley,” said Steve Hines, UI extension educator in Jerome County. In other words, more than half of the state’s farm income of $7.82 billion in 2013 was generated in Jerome, Twin Falls, Gooding, Minidoka, Cassia and Lincoln counties. This continues to be the case into 2013 confirmed by Steve Hines due to the favorable pricing/value and yields of the dairy industry in spite of production being flat in 2013.
