Although a wet spring forced many crops in Whatcom County to be planted much later than normal, an unusually dry fall meant harvests weren't as disastrous as they could have been. Joe Vanderpol, agronomist for CHS Northwest, joins Dillon with a recap of the 2022 growing season, and the new challenges farmers faced from less-than-typical weather patterns.

Wet spring, dry fall brings unusual challenges 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.
