Local students dig into spud harvest
By the time most Idaho students settle into their school day, high school sophomore Graeme Carlson has been at work — sorting potatoes or running a rake for a local farmer. For the last two weeks, anyway. Carlson’s Snake River School District is one of several in eastern Idaho where the school bell takes a back seat to harvest season.
