That was what the farmers thought the state could do that would help them the most, ... It seemed reasonable to me.
I think it's possible to have both. I think the farmland and country atmosphere we have here in the area is pretty well protected and I'm sure the zoning and planning commissions in each community are trying to keep a balance.
It's something that I think we can do to set aside to help farmers a wee bit in the challenges that they're facing right now,
The increasing costs of farming, from fuel for trucks and tractors to fertilizer, are beginning to wipe out farmers in Washington state,
It's back to about the 1930s as far as bankruptcies in the farm community, I think, and I think we'll see more and more of that in the next year.
