Science doesn't support farm-killing WA stream buffer proposal: Farm Bureau

Save Family Farming Show

As WA Gov. Jay Inslee's plan for mandatory stream buffers moves forward, Tom Davis, Washington Farm Bureau Director of Government Relations, tells Dillon that studies show the ill-conceived proposal would not benefit salmon the way its backers claim. In fact, he explains how the idea could ultimately harm salmon recovery efforts. The plan is up for a hearing this week in a state House of Representatives committee, and Davis is urging people to speak out against the proposal due to the vast harm it would cause to farming across the state.
