Great hop pictures! I worked as office manager for a hop farm here in Idaho
for about 15 years so I'm well aware of what hops are. :-) Even learned to
like the pungent smell of hops when they were harvested. NEVER learned to
like the smell of hop trash (what's left after the cones are shaken off the
vines). In the winter, you did NOT want to follow a truck that was hauling
the hop trash out to spread on the fields.
