I did a quick look around in the area:

Found a 1000+ acres for $1 million.  This is about 75 minutes away from Spokane..

One of my great memories is of the combine races at the county fair in Colfax, I believe.  They would run those combines on a course where they had to get through gates 1/3 narrower than the combine.  They could do that, because the slopes are so severe, the combines can turn on their sides at crazy angles, like 40-60 degrees.
 
Here's a link that shows just how crazy the land out there can be, both in steepness and in scale.

As Tim pointed out, that there is some productive land, and many of the farmers are quite wealthy.  A 2000 acre spread, generating 80 bushels, at $6.50/bushel, is running a $1M business.
The trouble with modern equipment and distance—and I don't see anyone pointing this out—is that it robs from the player's experience. - Mickey Wright
