In the fields, orchards, barns, and waters of Washington State, a quiet crisis is unfolding—one that threatens the future of family farms, rural communities, and the very food system we all rely on.
The Farming Show pulls back the curtain on the political, environmental, and social pressures reshaping agriculture in the Pacific Northwest. With unflinching honesty and a deep respect for the people who grow our food, host Dillon Honcoop takes listeners straight to the front lines of the fight for farming’s future.
Each week, the show tackles the top issues on the minds of farmers—from burdensome regulations and environmental litigation to labor challenges, market disruptions, and the threat of misinformation. But this isn’t just a policy podcast—it’s a storytelling platform. Listeners will hear directly from farmers, farmworkers, researchers, and advocates who are living the realities of today’s agricultural landscape.
What makes The Farming Show different is its willingness to ask hard questions, name names, and challenge powerful narratives that harm local farms. Backed by the advocacy and investigative work of Save Family Farming, this show doesn’t shy away from controversy—it leans in, bringing clarity, context, and conviction to the most complex issues.
Whether you’re a farmer, a policymaker, or just someone who cares about where your food comes from, The Farming Show offers a compelling look at what’s at stake—and what we can do to protect the future of farming in Washington State and beyond.

Beloved Ag-Focused PNW Weather Forecast Blogger Calls It Quits After 31 Years
Farmers and many others across the Pacific Northwest and beyond have followed a unique, regional weather blog over the last more than three decades.
Its followers, or "patrons" in The Weather Café parlance, have made its twice-weekly posts part of their weekly routine, relying on its insights for weather-affected planning, particularly when the possibility of major storms or other weather events are predicted.
Rufus La Lone, the forecaster behind the blog, joins Dillon the day after his last forecast post, after announcing on Oct. 15 he was retiring from the project.
They talk not just about the final two-week weather outlook, but also reflect on 31 years of The Weather Café, including some of the major storms and weather events covered, the blog's unique approach, and how it became a fixture in the lives of tens of thousands of people across the region.
