from Where Landowners Get Their News · host American Farmland Owner with Dave Price
Ben Tindall of Save Family Farming discusses growing tensions over water policy in Washington state, where proposed buffer expansions from 20–30 feet to as much as 200–250 feet could take significant farmland out of production. He explains how shifting water rights interpretations and increasing regulation are creating uncertainty for farmers already facing rising costs, and why the debate reflects a broader struggle to balance environmental protection with agricultural viability.
