Tariffs Add to ‘Dark Clouds’ of Uncertainty for Local Farmers

The Farming Show, hosted by Dillon Honcoop and produced by Save Family Farming, gives voice to the farmers, workers, and advocates fighting for the future of agriculture in Washington State. Each episode dives into the real challenges facing local farms—regulations, lawsuits, labor, water, and misinformation—while telling the human stories behind the headlines. Bold, honest, and unapologetically pro-farmer, the show exposes what’s threatening our food system and what’s being done to defend it.
