Q: of a portion of their property to Greenheart constituted a transaction for a commercial purpose is supported by the evidence. The Browns owned 320 acres that they used for ranching and farming — operations on which the Browns relied to derive income. The Browns also acquired water rights for a portion of their land which they leased out and eventually sold. The Brown Property had a portion that lacked water rights and it was this portion — without any improvements — that the Browns sold. Although the Brown Property did include their residence, the portion sold to Greenheart did not include the residence, and the existence of a residence on the property does not automatically disqualify a land conveyance from being a commercial transaction. See Watson, 144 Idaho at 219, 159 P.3d at 856 (<HOLDING>); Herrick v. Leuzinger, 127 Idaho 293, 306, 900

Q: area in determining that the proposed sale includes no old growth forest. AR Tab 59, pp. 13, 44. Using a different definition of old growth forest, the Virginia Department of Conservation Resources identified ten acres of the sale as old growth. The Forest Service argues that the state agency’s definition of old growth is more simplistic and produces less representative stand ages because it uses a single age cutoff for all. species, focuses on the older trees in a stand, and considers no factors other than age. The court need not concern itself with the merits of the competing methodologies, however, because the Forest Service is entitled to substantial deference on scientific questions within its area of technical expertise.
