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.

Water Settlement, Farming Protections Focus of Whatcom Councilman’s Proposal
Protecting Whatcom County farming and promoting a settlement to the state's Whatcom water adjudication lawsuit are the goals of a recently unveiled proposal from County Councilman Ben Elenbaas.
Elenbaas, a 4th-generation Whatcom County farmer, joins Dillon with details on the changes he wants to make to a foundational county plan that sets the county's growth agenda for decades to come.
Save Family Farming local affiliate Whatcom Family Farmers recently released a public statement in support of Elenbaas' proposal, saying they could help mark a path forward in the contentious water rights adjudication that's cast dark clouds over local farming's future in Whatcom County.
