Which area is more agricultural (i.e., farmland), Twin Falls or Nampa (Boise: buying)

[while parked]

I am originally from the Midwest, and now live in Boise. I've been here about 18 mos. I like farmland, and I am considering moving to a locale in Idaho where there is a lot of farmland. I am a truck driver, and I have seen a lot of farmland in both the Twin Falls and Nampa area. I do not see much farmland around the Boise area probably because the soil is unsuitable. I have searched for a map that shows (clearly) where the farmland is in Idaho, but can not find anything. Do you have a map to share that shows farmland in Idaho? Do you have an opinion on which metro area is more agricultural? (in terms of farmland.. not cattle grazing). Thanks.

Both are pretty similar.

TF is surrounded by farmland, along the Snake on the southside of the river. Buhl, Filer, Castleford, Hagerman, Kimberly, and Hansen are all farming communities... even as far a Burley. A bit of farming north of the Canyon, but really there are more dairies there.

Nampa's farmland is sigificantly on the western side... but has more of a high desert feel because it's a bit more removed from the Snake.

I'd say TF area.

A little late on this: I'm from the Twin falls area. Go on google maps satellite view and zoom out to see southwest Idaho. This area was originally desert until dams allowed irrigation so you can easily see the round and rectangular green and brown farm fields compared to the unirrigated surroundings that appear grayish or orange. Irrigated pastures also appear green and would indicate more ranchland than farmland, but most of the two areas, Nampa and twin falls, are dominated by farming with feedlot dairies also supported by farming. Ranching tends to occur nearby at higher elevations near blm and usfs land. If you move here, avoid buying land downwind of or close to dairies/feedlots. I don't know Nampa as well, but I would say both areas are similar in terms of farmland and you should weigh other factors to decide between the two. Nampa is close enough to Boise to feel its effects including a lot of rural subdivisions, but if you get out of town a little ways, you are in farmland in both areas.
