10/26/06 Life on the Bingham farm

Greg and Marcy Bingham, and young sons Ty and Chase are living the good life in Weston just north of the Utah border. BINGHAM "We run about 12, 13 hundred acres. We raise alfalfa, wheat, barley, corn." Greg and five brothers grew up on the family farm. BINGHAM "Worked on the farm growing up through high school. After college my wife and I we decided to return to this area and to farm. Currently we're in the process of transitioning from my Dad to me and my wife running the farm. Might have a brother that's interested in coming back." For Marcy Bingham the work in the fields is winding down and her favorite time of the year is right around the corner. BINGHAM "We get to go snowmobiling; just exciting to be outside in the snow. I love the snow and I love winter. More time on our hands. Our vacations of course are in the winter." They've been raising their sons on the farm where they've lived for nearly eight years and from the sounds of things, the Bingham's plan to be there a lot longer. Voice of Idaho Agriculture Bill Scott
