Agriculture?

 

When they say "rural" in the ad, they mean it.

Grangeville is really isolated, even by Idaho standards. But if you like to fish, hunt, go whitewater rafting ... you're in the heart of outdoors country.

Not sure about the quality of the paper, though; I believe that chain has a bunch of weekly/small daily papers in eastern Oregon.

 

Does it get any more fun than this?

 

I had lunch in Grangeville once. Coco is right on all counts. Eagle owns a number of quality papers in Oregon communities, although not limited to the east side.
