Housing development continues to crowd Rod Erickson's multi-generational Ferndale dairy, and police officers moved in on a recent evening to shut down a swather cutting grass for feed after a neighbor in the new development called 911 to complain about machinery cutting grass. Dillon visits with Erickson at the farm to find out what happened.

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.
