Verbatim:
I spent almost 10 tears producing my ag reports in a small audio office in the building known as the Boise Office of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation at the corner of 5th and Washington in downtown Boise. Many of you remember Jake Putnam and Steve Ritter, both of whom were good friends and very active as Farm. Bureau employees who did a lot of reaching out and communicating with Idaho’s ag community. They also had offices in the Farm Bureau building. So I was saddened to see my old haunt flattened The process started on December 2nd. was demolished to make way for a new, much larger building. The neighboring accounting office was also torn down.
Originally built in 1959, it served as the Boise office for many years, ideally located just a few blocks from the Idaho Statehouse.
With the completion of demolition, the lot will soon be ready for construction of the new four-story, mixed-use building which will cover half a block and feature ground floor retail, integrated parking, and office space with the Farm Bureau on the top floor.
While the main headquarters for the Idaho Farm Bureau will continue to be in Pocatello, the new Boise building will be the established location for member advocacy within the state capital.
Completion is expected in the first quarter of 2027.
