Idaho’s Salmon River is
called the “River of No Re
turn.” It flows through one
of the longest canyons in the
world. It is difficult for boats
to travel on the Salmon with
the current and they cannot
travel at all against the cur
rent.

THE FUTURE?

year as costs of production increase faster than prices paid to
milk producers.
Markets are becoming fewer for sale of raw product due to
