Wyoming

I spent the day traveling around Wyoming with Ken Hamilton, Executive VP of Wyoming Farm Bureau. From snow caped mountains to wide open space with no trees and vistas spreading for hundred of kilometres. There are 500,000 people and 4 million cattle. The main enterprise is breeding stock for the feeder markets going in to Nebraska. Like so many farming areas profitability and farm succession are the main problem areas, but like WA, Wyoming is rich in resources so the economy is booming.
