Moss loves what he and his family have built in southern Idaho. On
a sunny September afternoon at the Raft River farm, he is visibly
proud as truckloads of potatoes come through the transloading
site. Ryan's oldest son, Deven, has returned to the farm full-time
and is busy making sure each piece of machinery runs smoothly as
freshly dug potatoes make their way across multiple conveyors. A
couple hundred yards away, Deven's brother Austin operates the
harvester. Youngest brother Alex, a senior at Declo High, is still at
school, but you can bet he'll head this way just as soon as that last
bell rings. Through the haze of dust, you can see on the faces of the
Moss family just how excited they are, not only to be harvesting
potatoes, but to be doing it together.
"I think a big reason farms last through generational transitions,"
Moss says, "is a genuine pride and love of the land. Once you've
shoved your hands down in the dirt and those spuds come out, or
watch a sugarbeet truck fill up in minutes, it's hard to get enough
of that.
