from Where Landowners Get Their News · host American Farmland Owner with Dave Price
Washington rancher and legislator Tom Dent says supporting small farmers requires reducing regulatory burdens while recognizing their role as environmental stewards. He points to rising costs, heavy state-level rules, and the realities of family farms working long hours just to stay afloat. Dent argues that while federal farm programs remain important, they are not enough on their own. A more balanced approach, he says, begins with listening to farmers themselves.
