ice age floods e-book


 

Geologic events have shaped the state of Washington for millions of years, and even still today. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and water have all impacted the topography of the state since the Earth was young, while supplying modern-day humans with amazing agricultural land.

Washington grows more than 300 crops, with apples, wheat, and potatoes at the top. Some of the richest farmland in North America resides in Eastern Washington, and it’s all thanks to the most important part - the soil.

In this booklet, you’ll learn about the geologic history of Washington, the Ice Age Floods, and how they affected agriculture and wheat production today!

The Ice Age Floods is an amazing story. It's also the story of Washington Wheat and how we came to grow some of the best wheat in the world. We talk with Interpretive Park Ranger David McWalter from Washington State Parks all about our incredible loess soil, and how it got there.
