Brian Olmstead is one of eight Water Resource Board members that are directly appointed by the governor of Idaho to direct and preserve our limited water. As an agricultural state that has been slow to build new waters reservoir since 1976 but has exploded in ag production and development, we have taxed our water resource beyond its capacity. Solving this puzzle is going to take the brightest minds in the state. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
