The Teton Valley and surrounding benchlands provide agricultural lands at high elevation, with the Teton Range forming the dramatic eastern boundary. Cold temperatures and short growing seasons characterize this mountain valley environment.
Seed potato production and certified seed operations take advantage of the clean, cold growing conditions that reduce disease pressure. Hay and small grain production support local livestock operations adapted to the high-altitude environment.
