Check out this video on the “regulatory armageddon” facing American family farms

This investigative video by Yanasa TV explores a high-stakes legal battle between a 140-year-old family farm, Deschutes Valley Farms, and the Washington State Department of Ecology.

The state agency hit the multi-generational farm with a massive $204,000 fine, accusing them of “illegal destruction” and shoreline violations over what the owners and independent experts claim is simply a muddy, seasonal agricultural area. Utilizing internal emails, agency documents, and raw field footage, the video argues that regulators are misusing the Clean Water Act and overstepping their authority to deliberately target, fine, and push independent family farms off their land.
