The embattled Lower Snake River dams are being accused of killing fish — by a pro-dam advocate! But the reason is not at all what you might expect. 🎧 savefamilyfarming.org/are-th… @armchair_engr #thefarmingshow #snakeriver #salmon #farming #agriculture #infrastructure #pnw #waleg

As evidence of the harm WA state’s farming overtime law is causing farmworkers continues to mount, the state of CO legislators were able to achieve a bipartisan solution. #waleg #pnw #thefarmingshow #farmworkers #farming #harvest #seasonal #podcast 🎧 savefamilyfarming.org/how-ol…

The WA Supreme Court recently heard arguments over whether Ecology provided technical assistance required by state law before imposing penalties. What they decide could have implications for how regulations are enforced against farmers across WA. youtu.be/mIRxU4j76bw #waleg

DOH and the media exposed that ELLA’s confirmation was false. When an organization tells a state agency, as well as the general public, something that is blatantly not true, that’s called a lie. @GovBobFerguson @WADeptHealth @WaStateAuditor savefamilyfarming.org/public… #WALeg #PNW

An embattled Moses Lake-area farm family finally got its day at Washington state’s high court, after suing the state Department of Ecology for breaking the law nearly a decade ago when it slapped the farm with a half-million dollar fine. savefamilyfarming.org/scow-j… #wacourt #olympia

Ben Tindall, Executive Director of Save Family Farming, joins The Farming Show host Dillon Honcoop with this live update on the Fode family’s case from outside the Supreme Court at the State Capitol in Olympia. youtu.be/Xl16FGdkVQk #savefamilyfarming #pnw #olympia #moseslake

Farmers don’t get a year to ignore state rules. So why does an activist group that received $500,000 in taxpayer money? youtu.be/xJl2dogaGYc @GovBobFerguson @WADeptHealth @WaStateAuditor #HotTake #WALeg #PNW #appropriation #misappropriation #fyp

It all started with a logo. We asked four basic questions: The result should concern anyone who believes public money should come with meaningful accountability. savefamilyfarming.org/public… @GovBobFerguson @WADeptHealth @WaStateAuditor #WALeg #pnw #taxes #misappropriation #ethics

Mark Stremler, #WhatcomCounty Council member, shares his frustration with the Whatcom County Food System Committee’s handling of the situation, and its apparent inappropriate overlap with the private, activist-led “Whatcom Food Network” group. 🎧 savefamilyfarming.org/whatco… #PNW

A new study surveyed 600+ WA farmworkers about the state’s ag overtime law. Many report reduced hours and lost income—the consequences farmers warned about from the start. Will Olympia listen to farmworkers and reconsider the law? #WAFarms #waleg youtube.com/watch?v=mz4AL6n6…

SFF Board Member Jason Vander Kooy shares the hard reality that farmers are facing as diesel fuel costs skyrocket and farms are having to make hard decisions as they contemplate the future of their operations in the midst of crippling expenses. mynorthwest.com/money/record…

“This study affirms the concerns we had even before this misguided law was passed: that it would ultimately harm not only Washington’s family farms, but the very people it was intended to help..." yoursourceone.com/columbia_b… #protectfarmworkers #waleg

A new WSU study surveyed hundreds of farmworkers across the state, and found that most are losing income. ow.ly/ylzZ50ZPYcL Maia Espinoza, Executive Director of the Center for Latino Leadership, joins Dillon to talk about the survey’s results, and the research effort.

Billions of dollars in harm. Negligible to minor downstream fish benefits, according to the state’s own analysis. A court has paused WA’s expanded forest buffer rule while an appeal moves forward. Today it’s forestland. Tomorrow, it could be farmland. youtu.be/DVMrh9kkLKg

We fear a not-to-distant future where farmworkers are harmed not just by the reduced income we see the overtime law is already causing but by something even worse–the widespread loss of jobs the community could suffer as WA farms go out of business. #WALeg savefamilyfarming.org/new-st…
