KELLOGG — Having access to all the necessary supplies for every scenario can often be a struggle as you get farther away from the bigger cities, which is why the arrival of the Tractor Supply Company felt like a win for many residents in the Silver Valley.
Logan Moore lives in Pinehurst and now serves as the assistant store manager for the new Kellogg location.
“It will mean easy access for the Silver Valley. People won’t have to drive to Coeur d’Alene for supplies. I feel like that’s something that the Valley needs,” Moore said.
A release announcing the store opening listed hobby farmers, homeowners, livestock and pet owners, gardeners, ranchers and tradesmen among their customers. The store is billed as representing the “Out Here lifestyle.”
John Nearing, of Kingston, made sure to stop by the store during its grand opening Saturday to get an account set up for his two construction crews.
“The Valley needed this store, and look how many people it’s employing,” Nearing said.
In total, 35 jobs were created with the opening of the Kellogg store, and the additional source of local resources was heartily welcomed by the Historic Silver Valley Chamber of Commerce.
“I think having a national store in our town will bring more people to take advantage of the other positives in our area … hiking, biking, fishing and natural beauty,” Juli Zook, first vice president of the Historic Silver Valley Chamber of Commerce said. “We're thrilled to welcome Tractor Supply to our Valley. We welcome the beginnings of new opportunities, fostering economic growth and job creation in our region.”
Kayla Davault brought her children to check out the new location and shop for deals and was relieved to see the store open to get some time back on her future shopping trips.
“This way, I don’t have to go out of the way to get chicken supplies,” Davault said.

Tanja Batchelder met new people, shaking hands and exchanging smiles before she got back to her work on the loom. Batchelder said it takes weeks to complete a table runner on the loom, but the work kept her hands busy as she smiled at the hubbub of the celebration and open house taking place around her at Specialized Needs Recreation. "I love SNR and meeting new friends and spending time with them," Batchelder said. "There are baby chicks here, too."
Students get agricultural education at Farm to Table event
A bushel of wheat has about one million wheat kernels and weighs 60 pounds. One bushel of wheat will yield about 42 pounds of white flour which can then be used to make 62-70 loaves of bread or 42 pounds of pasta. After getting some background on wheat in the grain building at Farm to Table Wednesday, student Ethan Barney had one goal: grind as much of the kernels as he could before the time was up.
