About A Greener Season Landscaping

Buhl sits in country built entirely around water — canals that carry Snake River irrigation out to the farms, ponds that feed the trout operations the area is known for — and in winter those same canals ice over while the fields around them go stiff with frost. This crew works the edges of that farmland, clearing driveways and access lanes where the ground stays frozen hard enough to hold a truck's weight all morning. Mornings here start pale and cold, sagebrush rimmed white before the sun has cleared the canyon rim to the east. A farm driveway kept open through a cold snap means a rancher can still get feed out to stock before the ice sets in for the day. By midmorning, with frost still clinging to the fence lines, the cleared lanes are the only sign anyone's been out here at all.
