Non-potato Idaho facts:
-We produce 8% of the nation's Hops. If you've ever had a Budweiser, you've had Idaho hops!
-72 varieties of precious stones can be found here, along with productive gold and silver mines. Hence, its official nickname, is the "Gem State."
-The world's first chairlift (for skiing) was built in Sun Valley
-The world's first nuclear power plant was built near Arco, Idaho. Also, the first nuclear submarine prototype was built here.
-Two baseball HOF'ers are from Idaho... Harmon Killebrew (Payette, ID) and Walter Johnson (Weiser, ID). Both towns are within 8 miles of each other.
