RETHINKING THE WEST’S

WATER DILEMMA

PERMACULTURE ADVOCATES TAKE A DIFFERENT TACK ON CAPTURING WATER Mateusz Perkowski/Capital Press

Abel Kloster, a permaculture system designer, explains how spring water collects in a small pond at the Center for Rural Livelihoods nonprofit near Cottage Grove, Ore., where he works as the restoration forestry program director.

By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI Capital Press

ome of the old methods of managing water are overdue for change, as declining snowpacks and aquifer levels are making increasingly apparent across the West. For advocates of permaculture and other holistic approaches to agriculture, this predicament oﬀers a chance to reshape the way farmers and ranchers think about water. “What if we saw water as an abundant resource? Flipping the script may reveal all kinds of opportunities,” Don Tipping, a permaculture expert and seed farmer near Williams, Ore. Regulators have eﬀectively “promised out more water than actually exists” when irrigation demand is high in summer, creating an “atmosphere of scarcity,” Tipping said. However, innovative strategies for farming with scarce water have been progressing for decades — people must simply be willing to use them imaginatively, he said. See Water, Page A8

tion in the musty downstairs room where guests would not see the dust and the rust. I took a friend to see the collection once and he thought it was a bunch of junk. But I didn’t care, because on Sunday mornings Grandpa and I would enter that room and live in another day and another time, if just for awhile. Grandpa never threw anything away if it was old. Maybe that is how it should be. As Grandpa’s collection grew it got tougher to shoot pool. You would pull your cue stick back and hit something on the wall. “What the heck is that?” I’d say. “Oh, those are some new old spurs I got. Aren’t they beauties? They called them “Mexican Gut Robbers.” I could believe it. They had rowels on them three inches long. But if the horses had to be tough back in the good old days so did the cowboys. Grandpa’s got a pair of brass knuckles and a pearl handled derringer on the wall ... and they belonged to a banker! I will admit that one man’s junk is another man’s gold, but even Grandma would have to concede that part of the collection is valuable.

There are two handmade violins that took a lot of time and talent to make. But I guess the craftsman had a lot of time. He was in prison for murder. But even the cowboy’s tools, like the braided horse hair rope, stand as testimony to a time when things were done right no matter how long it took. One of the more interesting pieces in the collection is a long tube of thin metal with a large cupped opening at one end and a small opening at the other. “It’s a hearing aid,” joked Grandpa. “Actually they were called ear trumpets. You put the big end up to the deaf person’s ear and you yelled like hell into the other end.” There was always great excitement whenever Grandpa got something new for his collection. “Look at this,” he said one Sunday. It looked to me like an old piece of wood with a bunch of square nails in it. “It’s a piece of wood from a county courthouse that the government actually built in the wrong county.” In the story of human progress some things never change. The pool room turned into a family museum, a symbol

of our heritage. There is the number that Grandpa wore on his back when he won the team roping at the county fair. There are my brother’s first cowboy boots that eventually got handed down to me. The room was full of hand me downs, from one generation to another. I think my Grandpa always wanted me to be a lawyer or something upper crust but it was his fault I always dreamed about being a cowboy. We don’t shoot pool anymore because Grandpa is gone. I miss him terribly as he was the father-figure in my life. I like to think that Grandpa knows I did grow up to be something important... I became a cowboy. I’d like him to know that the dream never died. Grandpa left everything in that room to me and I’ve added to the collection, so much so that’s it’s taken over every room in our house. And when guests are invited to shoot a game or two of pool on that same pool table invariably someone will pull back their cue stick and hit something new. At least it’s new to my collection. In reality it’s probably 150 years old. You might be surprised to learn I have another collection that’s way more valuable than all my old cowboy stuff, at least to me it is. It’s my collection of memories. Memories of those long-gone Sundays when I fell in love with the romance of the cow business. Thanks Grandpa! This country already had enough lawyers ... and not nearly enough cowboys.

Water

Continued from Page A1 “Usually, our limitation is just our creativity,” Tipping said.

‘Fewer straws,’ older laws

The West’s water doctrine was established when there were “fewer straws in the drink” and the resource was more plentiful during peak irrigation season, he said. “Basically, the laws have never evolved since they first cast them.” Since a radical overhaul of Western water law is unlikely, given constitutional protections for property rights and due process, advocates expect new ways of thinking will have to be superimposed on existing legal strictures. Tweaking the specifics of water law, if not its fundamental principles, may be necessary to apply novel methods on a larger scale, experts say. Though such changes are bound to encounter resistance, the potential cost of inaction is high, Tipping said. “Water has See Concept, Page A9

Earthmoving is a common tool, with farmers building berms or digging basins and swales — basically recessions in the ground — to prevent rapid runoff. “What these structures are really doing is slowing the flow through the watershed and recharging groundwater tables,” said Andrew Millison, a permaculture instructor with OSU’s horticulture department. Reducing tillage and growing cover crops offer a relatively undemanding way to help the ground soak up water, he said. “More important than all those structures is having soil with a high organic matter content,” Millison said. “Absorbing organic matter into the soil is the first line of defense, and it doesn’t require the changing of any laws.”

lines, which improves infiltration, said Tom Powell, Maud’s husband and a seed farmer near Jacksonville, Ore. “Instead of taking the fastest route off the property, it’s being slowed down by these contour lines,” Tom Powell said. Keyline design is named after the “key” contour line, where the landscape shifts from a steep to a gentler slope, around which the farm and its water system are designed, he said. Above this keyline, the landscape is often more conducive to agroforestry and pastures rather than intensive crop production, said Kloster. “Below it is where we start to look at more agricultural endeavors,” he said. To implement permaculture and keyline concepts, farmers try to work with the natural geographic features — which can be tough where the landscape is fragmented along gridlike property lines, said Millison of OSU. “Often, management happens in relation See Rights, Page A11

Rights

Continued from Page A10

“Often, management happens in relation to the rectangle,” he said. “Your upstream neighbor can do a lot of things detrimental to you and there’s nothing you can do about it.” The road system can create another problem if it harmfully alters the course of water, Millison said. “A poorly placed road can be one of the most hydrologically damaging things on a landscape,” dehydrating the soils above it and ﬂooding those below, he said.

Water right concerns

Apart from negotiating physical obstacles, farmers must ensure permaculture tools don’t conflict with water rights. Theoretically, slowing water’s downhill flow benefits farmers and environmentalists alike by preventing erosion, which causes soil loss and stream pollution. Filtering water through the ground also removes impurities and lowers its temperature, enhancing fish habitat.

In practical terms, though, the Western doctrine of prior water appropriations complicates this dynamic. Under that “first in time, first in right” doctrine, upstream earthmoving activities cannot reduce downstream flows to the detriment of senior irrigators with older water rights.

Reservoir trouble

In one famous case, a Southern Oregon landowner built several dams intended to collect water flowing over his land, claiming the state government lacked jurisdiction over rain and melting snow before it enters a defined stream. State regulators said the reservoirs deprived a nearby creek of water and ordered them torn down. The government prevailed in court, ultimately leading to a monthlong jail sentence and $1,500 fine for the landowner. Earlier this year, Sen. Dennis Linthicum, R-Klamath Falls, proposed broadening Oregon’s water rights exemption for storing snow and rainwater. The exemption now

October 2023 they are storing water and will require a water right, but that line is fuzzy.” Water cannot be diverted without a permit but it’s up to the Oregon Water Resources Department to decide if Sarah a project has Liljefelt crossed the threshold from lawfully slowing water to illegally storing it, said Sarah Liljefelt, a water rights attorney who advises farmers and ranchers. “There’s no bright line rule but there are circumstances where it’s evident the water is being used illegally without a permit,” she said. “There’s not a onesize-fits-all way to decide.” That’s particularly true in Oregon, which has a varied topography and a wide range of microclimates across the state, said Jason Spriet, OWRD’s east region manager. “Our criteria is: Is it stop-

ping the flow of water or just slowing it?” Spriet said, adding that regional water availability plays into the calculation. “A structure in one area may cause an issue whereas in another it may not.” Oregon law does shield well-meaning landowners if their land management practices are intended to “save soil and improve water quality by temporarily impeding or changing the natural flow of diffuse surface water.” They shouldn’t expect that protection to be limitless, though. “It’s not an open-ended exemption,” said Priestley of Waterwatch. “It’s tied to a purpose. It’s clear that storage cannot be the purpose.” Farmers have leeway to reuse flows from water they’ve legally diverted for irrigation, but only as long as it stays on their property, said Spriet of OWRD. Runoff from neighboring landowners remains off-limits under this principle.

“Once they lose control, it’s basically the public’s water again and goes back into the system,” he said.

Guidance needed

Without a consistent rule of thumb, landowners should seek guidance from local regulators about any project they’re unsure about, Spriet said. “The best thing you can do is talk to your local watermaster and get their opinion.” Even this advice comes with a caveat, because the opinion of a watermaster doesn’t carry the weight of black letter law, said Liljefelt, the agricultural water rights attorney. Informal approvals can be especially vulnerable if they occurred long ago, when “you had things that were a lot looser than they are today,” she said In general, agency guidance is less reliable than actual regulations, which also aren’t set in stone, Liljefelt said.

Some of Kloster’s clients seek permits to store pumped groundwater, but off-channel seasonal flows — such as those from a winter spring — are another option, he said. The legal constraints on such water rights often align with permaculture principles, Kloster said. The philosophy is averse to reservoirs that block waterways, which interfere with fish passage and are vulnerable to failure during floods.

devoted to in-stream environmental purposes after irrigation ends. A similar concept could encourage them to lease water to smaller farmers for storage. Government incentives can foster cooperation among landowners and overcome the hurdles posed by a fragmented landscape, said Millison, who’s helped organize the Permaculture Land Users Group, or PLUG, to explore and advocate such ideas. “What we’d like to see is full watershed-scale water systems,” he said. While roadways can be destructive, they can also provide water solutions, said Tao Orion, who designs permaculture sites with her husband, Abel Kloster. Harvesting and storing water from roads, including those made from gravel, could filter out pollutants while increasing irrigation supplies, Orion said. “A lot of that water is contaminated and you don’t want it to go directly into the stream,” she said. “Most engineering is trying to get that water away as fast as possible. In permaculture, we’re trying to get it to stick around for longer.” Permaculture and keyline systems often rely on a row of gravity-fed ponds that distribute irrigation water at various elevations and capture overflow from each other. To reduce the burden on landowners, regulators could issue a single water right that encompasses the entire series of ponds, rather than require separate permits for each of them, Kloster said. Likewise, regulatory barriers could be lowered for reservoirs that serve an ecological purpose. “If there was something more streamlined, it would lead to more adoption,” he said. “There are ways we can work with water that are not purely extractive.”

Cranberry growers start harvest with smaller surplus By KYLE ODEGARD and DON JENKINS Capital Press

Don Jenkins/Capital Press

Sean McHenry pushes cranberries toward a conveyor Sept. 28 on the Long Beach Peninsula in southwest Washington.

LONG BEACH, Wash. — Oregon and Washington cranberry farmers are starting to harvest berries without carrying the burden of a huge U.S. surplus that dragged down prices for several years.

VR-Direct Drive Series

The cranberry industry ended the 2022 crop year with 3.5 million barrels in storage, according to the Cranberry Marketing Committee. Inventory peaked in 2017 at 9.6 million barrels. Growers approved volume controls in 2017 and 2018. Wisconsin, the top-producing cranberry state, has not come close to its record 2016 crop, which drove up the surplus. As the surplus has gone down, prices have gone up. Average prices bottomed out below $30 a barrel, or 30 cents a pound, in 2018. The average price in 2022 was $38.12 a barrel, according to the USDA.

Prices increase

Long Beach Peninsula farmer Malcolm McPhail, an Ocean Spray grower, said he expects prices to top $42 a barrel this year. “The price is good. We’re making money,” he said. See Cranberries, Page B3

Oversupply isn’t a problem this year, said Gale Turner of Turner Cranberries in Bandon, Ore. “Not like before, where we had a year-plus still in the freezer prior to harvest,” he said. “From what I’ve been hearing, they’re looking for fruit. We haven’t got a price yet. We sometimes don’t get a price on the independent stuﬀ until we almost deliver,” Turner said. The USDA in mid-August predicted a good to average cranberry crop for Oregon. The USDA does not forecast Washington’s crop, which is smaller than in the other top-producing cranberry states of Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Oregon. The USDA anticipated the U.S. crop to be down 5% from last year to 7.6 million barrels. Wisconsin and Massachusetts were expected to be down 5% and 12%, respectively, due to severe frost damage.

Bountiful harvest

McPhail started harvesting Sept. 25, about two weeks later than usual. Because of the dry summer, the farm was short of water to irrigate and ﬂood bogs, he said. McPhail’s goal is to average 200 barrels an acre. The ﬁrst bog harvested yielded 384 barrels per acre, he said. “We haven’t hit that high (of a yield) in sometime.” Cranberry farmers on the southern Oregon Coast said they were concerned with the size of fruit, which is smaller this season, but the harvest appears above average.

HILLCO

By BRAD CARLSON Capital Press

Kamren Koompin was reminded what a normal potato crop looked like this fall as he surveyed his harvest. “Size is better than it has been in the last two years,” the American Falls, Idaho, grower said. “It’s probably back to the five-year average. The last two years were definitely below, so that’s good.” Idaho potato growers are wrapping up their harvest of what looks to be their first normal crop in a while. Last year and 2021 had below average yields because of unusual weather and smoke impacts. In 2020, yield and quality were above average offset to an extent by a drop in planted acreage. In 2019, there was a drop in production and slight decrease in harvested acres, hurt by early frost.

“As always, it’s a bit of a mixed bag,” Idaho Potato Commission CEO Jamey Higham said Sept. 28. “Last year, it was pretty much down everywhere. This year, results vary from one

field to another, but overall quality looks good and yields seem to be decent.” The supply of irrigation water was adequate to get through harvest, he said, adding that “we hope we have a good, wet winter.” “We’re really happy with our crop over here, but I’m hearing a lot of areas got smaller potatoes, so yields are off,” said farmer Bryan Searle of Shelley, in the east region. He received reports of smaller potatoes to the north, though some farmers there had good size and quality, he said. Last year on Searle’s farm, “we were upset by weather on our quality,” he said. Prolonged high heat was a factor. In 2023, “potatoes had a good summer, and a really good growing season,” he said. The set was good, which bodes well for maintaining quality. Set refers to the number of potatoes per stem, per plant. Some of Searle’s potatoes are the best-looking ever, though “they’re not all like that.” See Potato, Page B5

Continued from Page B4 Harvest was delayed on Koompin’s farm as rain fell fairly heavily Sept. 20-22. The crop in the American Falls area caught up well after getting off to a slow start in the wet spring, he said. May was ideally warm and June was not too hot. Late harvest of other crops tied up equipment and delayed work on some potatoes, letting certain varieties add bulk, Koompin said. “Now we’re trying to get as much done as possible before the next storm comes Saturday night,” he said Sept. 27, referring to anticipated conditions Sept. 30. Rain in southern Idaho during the Sept. 30-Oct. 1 weekend slowed harvest progress a bit, “but nobody is really concerned yet,” said Travis Blacker, the commission’s vice president of research and industry relations. Rain expected early in the Oct. 2 week could slow progress a bit, depending on volume. Quality is good, and better than it was in 2022, he said. As for yield, more will be known at seasons end, “but it’s safe to say that yields for this crop are better than last year’s. Growing conditions for this year were favorable.”

‘Very good’ quality

Near Wilder, in the southwest, potato yields are mostly average and quality is “very good,” said Angie Rader, a partner in Doug Gross Farms. “They have been very beautiful potatoes.” Yields are average, particularly for later-maturing varieties, Gross said. One earlier variety for the fresh market showed yield that was a bit lighter than average, but good quality. First-year potato grower Miguel Villafana, also of Wilder, produced yellows and reds for the fresh market. He finished harvest in mid-August. Yield and quality were good. After the spring planting delay, growing conditions were good, he said. At season’s end, “everything about the harvest went well and was favorable.” Idaho leads the U.S. in potato production. Planted acres totaled about 330,000, up 12% from last year, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Evidence lacking for action against imported lamb

Custom Fertilizer Application

By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press A preliminary investigation by a Washington, D.C., law firm has found insufficient evidence for the American Sheep Industry Association to move forward in pursuing action against lamb imports from Australia and New Zealand. “ASI leaders met five times this year to complete the investigation. The numbers are either there or not to proceed,” Peter Orwick, ASI executive director, told Capital Press. The investigation by the Kelly Drye and Warren law firm does not document subsidies or product dumping to support filing trade petitions. This is the third investigation into trade violations regarding lamb imports in six years, Orwick said. “So we have been aggressive in monitoring the trade. For the time being, all worthwhile routes have been exhausted on this front other than Senator (John) Barrasso’s effort on a USDA rule that we are actively working,” he said.

Lifting import ban

Barrasso introduced legislation on Sept. 21 to stop the Biden administration from lifting a ban on imports of sheep and goat products until studies show the possibility of contamination or transmission of diseases have been completely eliminated. The legislation also calls for a costs and beneﬁts analysis as well as the impact on domestic markets. ASI’s executive board in April approved a preliminary investigation into dumping and countervailing duties. In May, the executive board hired the law ﬁrm to perform the investigation. ASI contends the volume of imported lamb has increased during the last several years along with consumer demand. As a result, domestic lamb has lost market share to imports, with the vast majority of gains in consumer demand going to imported lamb. Lamb imports in 2022 totaled 278 million pounds, with 207.8 million pounds from Australia and 64.9 million pounds from New Zealand, according to USDA Economic Research Service. Total lamb imports

An investigation showed there was not enough evidence to take action on trade problems with Australia and New Zealand, according to Peter Orwick, American Sheep Industry Association executive director. accounted for more than 68% of total U.S. lamb supplies in 2022, with Australia claiming 50.8% of U.S. market share and New Zealand having 15.9%. U.S. production in 2022 was 130.9 million pounds, accounting for 32% of the domestic market share. The preliminary investigation was the result of requests from 8 of ASI’s state aﬃliates and the National Lamb Feeders Association. The groups requested “ASI investigate and pur-

sue remedies to alleviate the long-term market pressure created by imported lamb meat in the United States,” they said in an April 14 letter. The groups noted Australia and New Zealand have historically undercut prices for U.S. lamb. ASI’s executive board unanimously agreed to schedule an informational virtual meeting in October to ﬁll in the full board of directors and executives of state aﬃliate associations on the investigation.

Washington FFA convention to return to WSU in 2024 By MATTHEW WEAVER Capital Press

The Washington FFA state convention will return to the Washington State University campus in 2024, after four years away. The convention will be May 9-11 in Beasley Coliseum. “I think it’s really cool for the kids and the teachers overall,” Jesse Taylor, executive director of the Washington FFA Foundation, told the Capital Press. “It is our land-grant college, the majority of our FFA advisors and agricultural education instructors went to college there. For the teachers, for the FFA community as a whole, I think it’s a great thing that we can all go back to the place where FFA has always been. ... I suspect we’ll be holding it there for the foreseeable future, too.” The convention had been in Pullman every year since the state organization formed in 1930, Taylor said. Organizers pivoted to a month-long virtual convention in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then switched to a virtual hybrid in 2021. In 2022, the convention relocated to Kennewick in the Tri-Cities due to WSU’s policy requiring proof of COVID vaccination. It was not a public high school requirement, and FFA organizers didn’t want to require students Matthew Weaver/Capital Press File attending convention to have a COVID vacciThe Washington FFA state convention will return to the Washington State University campus af- nation card. ter two years in Kennewick.

Continued from Page B8 The convention remained in the Tri-Cities in 2023. The COVID-19 vaccine requirement for WSU faculty, staff and visitors was lifted in October 2022 when Gov. Jay Inslee suspended his COVID-19 emergency orders.

Record membership

As of the 2022-2023 school year, Washington FFA has more than 14,000 paid members, a record, Taylor said. Before the pandemic, membership was about 12,000, he said. During COVID, membership dropped to less than 8,000. “I figured it was a fiveto 10-year stretch to get us back to 12,000,” Taylor said. But, “There’s an absolute hunger out there among the kids for an outdoors, hands-on education experience,” he said. That materialized this summer in the number of youths participating in county fairs, he said. During COVID, “I think kids were cooped up and they couldn’t play sports and clubs and all that stuff,” Taylor said. “After it opened up, it was like, ‘Let’s go.’”

Showcasing education

The only current Washington FFA members who would recall a convention in Pullman would have attended as a seventh-grader, Taylor said. “I’m thrilled,” said new Washington FFA executive director Andy Zahl, who began Oct. 2. “Pullman was where all my state conventions were as a member, as a state officer. It makes the most sense for logistics, in terms of an on-site convention.” “We are delighted that the Washington State FFA Convention is returning to WSU,” Elizabeth Chilton, provost and executive vice president and WSU Pullman chancellor, said in a press release. “It provides a chance to showcase and build on the partnership between our two organizations. It also enables participants to experience events on the WSU Pull-

Jesse Taylor, executive director of Washington FFA Foundation man campus and engage face-to-face with our faculty, staff, and students in an immersive learning environment. FFA members will have a unique opportunity to experience

a residential campus and, most importantly, the ability to see themselves in a collegiate atmosphere.” The convention is a good way to showcase the state’s higher agricultural

education, Taylor and Zahl said. “When we get kids on that campus, we have a lot stronger chance of recruiting them to an agriculture discipline in college, and keeping

them involved in the agriculture industry,” Taylor said. “We need to retain talent and promote talent in the state,” Zahl said. “(WSU) is the place to have convention.”

QuinoaHub co-founder Cedric Habiyaremye talks about the growth of the company, which helps African farmers raise quinoa and other nutritious staples, Aug. 31 on the Washington State University campus in Pullman.

Quinoa researcher aids African farmers By MATTHEW WEAVER Capital Press

PULLMAN, Wash. — Cedric Habiyaremye made a pinkie promise with his brother when he was 11 years old. His family ﬂed the 1994 genocide in Rwanda of the Tutsi minority population by extremists in the Hutu majority. More than 800,000 civilians were killed, and 2 million Rwandans ﬂed the African nation during or after the genocide. The family found aid through various humanitarian programs for three years, then returned to Rwanda — during a famine. “We would go two, three days with nothing to eat,” Habiyaremye said. “There was people dying from hunger and disease; basically we were surrounded by that kind of chaos.” Habiyaremye’s mother told her children that one day they would be able to do big things for the country. He had a hard time believing it, given the harsh circumstances all around them. His mother comforted him, telling him he would go to school and study.

Shortly after, he and his brother decided their life goals. His brother, 12 at the time, wanted to become a pharmacist and asked Habiyaremye, “What about you?” “I told him, ‘We are hungry, we don’t have food, maybe I’ll go to school and study and we will never go to bed hungry any more,’” Habiyaremye recalled. “Then we did a pinkie promise to stay connected to our dreams no matter what.” Today, Habiyaremye oversees quinoa research and collaboration at Washington State University in countries outside the U.S. He’s working to introduce the crop to farmers in Rwanda and other African countries to ﬁght hunger and malnutrition. About 700 small-scale farmers are now raising quinoa in Rwanda as a result.

agronomically competititve” staples, including quinoa, proso millet, food barley, amaranth, red kidney beans and soybeans. “We wanted to be able to work with farmers beyond the research component,” Habiyaremye said, likening it to a university extension-style service. QuinoaHub creates a localized market for the crops. After the pilot program’s success in Rwanda, they replicated the model in the other countries. Ten to 15 farmers in Zimbabwe are now growing the quinoa varieties released by WSU to Rwandan farmers earlier this year. Those farmers will branch out and train their peers, Habiyaremye said. QuinoaHub is “beyond what I was hoping,” Habiyaremye said. He attributes See Rwanda, Page B12

its success to putting farmers in the driver’s seat, and letting them take ownership of the project. “That grassroots approach is a major part of the reason quinoa is taking off in Rwanda,” said Kim Kidwell, the former WSU spring wheat breeder and executive associate dean in the College of Agricultural, Human and Natu-

ral Resource Sciences. She is now at the University of Illinois. “Cedric and Kim Kidwell his partners have created fair and equitable opportunity for farmers to produce quinoa in Rwanda, which is impressive. He is (doing) what he told me he intended to do in agriculture so many years ago — support Rwandan farmers

with growing more nutritious food for their families and communities.”

Building capacity

QuinoaHub is developing processing and packaging capacity for each of the local markets. They’ve begun mixing quinoa ﬂour with other ﬂours, such as maize or sorghum. A small processing facility in each country would See WSU, Page B13

keep quinoa aﬀordable and available for local customers, he said. So far, they’re close to having a processing unit in Rwanda and expect to add Zimbabwe in the next three years, gradually expanding into other countries. One small machine cleans, processes and packages roughly 2.2 tons per hour. A milling machine would also process up to 2.2 tons per hour. QuinoaHub co-founder Olivier Ndayiramije was Habiyaremye’s college roommate. He joined QuinoaHub “from day one.” Ndayiramije was “the boots on the ground,” managing farmers and research and meeting potential collaborators in Rwanda while Habiyaremye was in the U.S. Ndayiramije is now a graduate student at WSU, studying crop science. “Cedric is a man with a good heart — he is the one with nationally big dreams, and internationally,” Ndayiramije said. “(He’s) the one who is ready to support others, either his friends or not. He is still doing everything he can to support his society/community, as one of his goals is to eradicate malnutrition and children stunting, starting in his country Rwanda and even worldwide.”

Coming to WSU

When Habiyaremye was studying agriculture in college, Kidwell spoke to his class as part of a student trip to Rwanda. “Cedric was the one who facilitated everything for us on that trip,” Kidwell told the Capital Press. “He was our interpreter, problem solver, supply ﬁnder, etc. He was ever present, always engaged, always willing to help, always approachable. He worked harder than any of us and was 100% reliable.” While scouting, Kidwell and another professor looked over the mountainous terrain and wondered aloud if quinoa would grow there. They thought the crop would be a good addition to a WSU program that helped families build gardens to produce food. Kidwell had enough dis-

Funding needs

To help establish and expand research in other countries, Habiyaremye launched the global participatory quinoa research fund. His goal is to raise $700,000, enough to fund the project for ﬁve years. Habiyaremye expects quinoa’s momentum to continue to grow, as consumers become more aware of its nutritional beneﬁts and adaptability to various climates. “So far we are in eight countries,” he said. “If we manage to secure the funding, we can be in around 25 countries in Africa.”

Andy Zahl, a former Washington FFA state oﬃcer, is the new executive director of the organization. He began Oct. 2. “Having a background in agriculture, FFA and student leadership — those are the three basic things that raised me and got me through where I am,” Zahl told the Capital Press. When the job became available, Zahl, 28, said he thought it was the perfect blend of his background and passions. He was state secretary during the 2013-2014 year. “I got to see all the doors that FFA opens up to others,” he said. His favorite memory from that time is visiting the many FFA chapters. “Spending that time on the road, meeting people where they are, eating dinner with their families in their homes — you really get to meet the diverse ag youth that Washington has, north, south, east, west,” he said.

His father, Jerry Zahl, is a retired longtime Walla Walla Growers Cooperative agronomic crop consultant.

He sold beef and dairy cattle pharmaceuticals in the Midwest before returning to Walla Walla in 2019. He has worked in the wine industry the past four years.

Yakama tribe seeks to talk to biologists about wind project By DON JENKINS Capital Press The Yakama Nation on Sept. 27 asked the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council to overrule its chairwoman and let the tribe ask state biologists how the Horse Heaven wind and solar project would impact wildlife. A motion filed by the tribe seeks to reopen hearings on the proposed energy project in southeast Washington so that the council can hear directly from Fish and Wildlife biologists James Watson and Jason Fiddora. Watson and Fiddora warned in separate depositions in July that the project as proposed would be a problem for wildlife, particularly for ferruginous hawks, which are listed as endangered under state law. EFSEC Chairwoman Kathleen Drew turned down the tribe’s request in mid-September to have Watson and Fiddora testify in front of the council. Their testimony is unnecessary because Watson and Fidorra are advising EFSEC as it prepares a final report on the project’s environmental impact, according to Drew. Drew overstepped her authority by unilaterally dismissing the tribe’s request, rather than putting the request to the full council, according to a motion filed by tribal attorney Shona Voelckers. The biologists’ testimony would be critical for council members to hear before they decide whether to recommend Gov. Jay Inslee approve the project, according to the tribe’s motion. EFSEC spokesman Karl Holappa said in an email

Ferruginous hawks would be disturbed by the proposed Horse Heaven wind and solar project in southeast Washington, according to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists. Tuesday the council had no comment. Scout Clean Energy has proposed installing up to 244 turbines and more than 6,000 acres of solar panels near the Tri-Cities. It would be the state’s largest renewable energy installation. EFSEC held eight days of hearings in August as Scout and the project’s opponents — the Yakama Nation, Benton County and citizens group Tri-City C.A.R.E.S. — questioned witnesses about Scout’s plans. The tribe was not allowed to call Watson and Fidorra as witnesses, though they were interviewed in July

by Voelkers and other attorneys. Watson, Fish and Wildlife’s raptor specialist, said livestock grazing helped ferruginous hawks by exposing rodent prey, but in general it was a species particularly sensitive to human disturbance. The project could allow other more-adaptable species, such as ravens and great horned owls, to take over hawk territories, he said, according to a transcript of the meeting. Asked whether the project as currently designed would protect the environment, Watson answered, “Not for ferruginous hawks.” Scout on Tuesday responded to a request to comment by referring to a memo the company sent EFSEC in early August outlining changes to its proposal. The changes include eliminating six turbines to remove “approximately 30%” of the turbines within 2 miles of the Coyote Canyon ferruginous hawk territory. Watson said in his deposition that the department recommended no turbines be within 2 miles of 16 ferruginous hawk territories.

Washington breaks biodiesel law for 14th straight year By DON JENKINS Capital Press

Washington state government went backward last year in complying with a climate-change law that requires agencies and universities to buy biodiesel. The state purchased 18 million gallons of diesel fuel in 2022, but fewer than 1.5 million gallons were biodiesel, missing the legislative mandate by more than 2.1 million gallons. Greenhouse gas emissions from biodiesel are 74% lower than from petroleum diesel, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, citing a study by the Argonne National Laboratory. Jeﬀ Earl, director of state governmental aﬀairs for Clean Fuels Alliance America, said he wasn’t aware of any biodiesel shortage that would prevent the state from buying more. “Washington kind of prides itself on being a leader on the environment,” Earl said. “It would be nice

if they showed that with their state ﬂeet.” Since 2009, agencies and universities that buy diesel fuel are supposed to make 20% of it biodiesel to lower greenhouse gases from heating state buildings, and fueling diesel vehicles, ferries and equipment. The law has never been followed or enforced. Each year, the Department of Enterprise Services issues a report. According to the report for 2022, the state fell short for the 14th straight year. Biodiesel made up 8.28% of the state-purchased diesel fuel, down from last year’s 9.13%. State biodiesel purchases peaked in 2015 at 13.1%, according to previous reports. The Department of Transportation bought 96% of the state’s diesel supply, mostly to fuel ferries. The ferry system bought 1.2 million gallons of biodiesel in 2022, down 15% from the year before. The report blamed “pandemic-related service reductions and Spokane, WA (509) 244-4902

Yellow Highlight denotes recent trade

Washington State Capitol supply chain issues.” The state Department of Agriculture, which monitors fuel quality, reported that it is increasingly hard for its inspectors to ﬁnd retail stations oﬀering fuel with more than 5% biodiesel. The state report, however, focuses on state agency purchases of bulk diesel fuel through statewide contracts. The state could buy more biodiesel, according to Enterprise Services’ report. The University of Washington and Washington State University buy “substantial amounts” of diesel for campus power plants. “Both universities could easily increase their use of biodiesel blends,” the report states. The Pullman campus is the only one in the WSU system that has a power plant

and on-campus fuel station. The nearest fuel suppliers stopped carrying biodiesel, WSU spokesman David Wasson said in an email. A potential supplier was found in the Tri-Cities, but WSU’s storage tank was too small to handle minimum deliveries, and the extra shipping cost for a “short load” was cost-prohibitive, he said. WSU is looking at expanding its diesel storage for on-road and oﬀ-road heavy equipment, which could provide enough capacity to take biodiesel shipments from the Tri-Cities supplier, he said. WSU is also looking using renewable diesel to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Wasson said. The University of Washington did not respond to a request to comment. The Corrections Department buys diesel fuel for 10 facilities, but mixes in biodiesel at only two. The department could increase biodiesel use at several prisons, according to the report. The report also noted that besides the law, state agen-

cies have been ordered by Gov. Jay Inslee to reduce greenhouse gases when possible. Inslee spokesman Mike Faulk said in an email the state’s low-carbon fuel standard is encouraging biodiesel use and there are more ways to reduce carbon-emissions than in 2009. “Biodiesel is still a great alternative for large vehicles where there may not be readily available battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell options,” he said. Earl said other states have biodiesel mandates. “It’s really, in my opinion, the leader of an agency has to make the eﬀort to acquire and utilize the fuel,” he said. Unlike climate laws that apply to the private sector, such as cap-and-trade, lawmakers did not provide for penalties for not complying with the 20% biodiesel standard. “If there’s no teeth in the law, it’s up to the agencies,” Earl said. “Do they want to put the eﬀort into it?”

Sugar beets are piled next to a field after being harvested.

As his sugar beet harvest continued, Zach Patterson of Paul, Idaho, liked much of what he saw — considering the challenges of the early season. “The beets that escaped the hailstorms did exceptionally well,” he said. Amalgamated Sugar’s more than 700 grower-owners expect to har-

vest 186,884 acres of sugar beets in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, oﬃcials with the Boise-based cooperative said. Growers planted about 180,000 in 2021 and 2022. Harvest for long-term storage started Oct. 2 in the Magic Valley of south-central Idaho and the Upper Snake River Valley to the east, said Brodie Griﬃn, vice president of agriculture. Heavy rains during the

Sept. 30-Oct. 1 weekend led to “very minimal” harvest activity Oct. 2-3 and slower progress through the rest of the week, he said. “We did have rain in the Treasure Valley,” Griﬃn said, referring to the lower-elevation growing area in southwestern Idaho and southeastern Oregon, “but not nearly as much as the Magic Valley.” See Beets, Page C3

Sugar content up

Final accumulated sugar content was expected to be 17-17.5% after rising in the last week of September, he said. Last year, sugar content for all beets delivered in September averaged 16.19% after increasing sharply in the final week. Amalgamated harvests some beets early to optimize processing operations and quality. In the Treasure Valley, early harvest continued as of Oct. 3 and the company expected harvest for long-term storage to start Oct. 9, Griffin said. Nampa-area grower Russ Shroll, who harvested a lot of “earlies,” was about two-thirds finished Oct. 4. “My tonnage is going to be off a little bit,” largely due to the “extremely cold” spring, he said. “Sugar content looks average or slightly above.” Brad Carlson/Capital Press

Justice Department ﬁles antitrust suit against Agri Stats By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press

The U.S. Department of Justice ﬁled a civil antitrust lawsuit against Agri Stats Inc. on Sept. 28 for organizing and managing anticompetitive information exchanges among broiler chicken, pork and turkey processors. The complaint alleges Agri Stats violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act by collecting, integrating and distributing competitively sensitive information related to price, cost and output among competing meat processors. “This conduct harms customers, including grocery stores and American families,” DOJ stated in a press release. The complaint, ﬁled in the District of Minnesota, alleges Agri Stats has for years produced comprehensive weekly and monthly reports for participating meat processors, which use the data to set prices and output levels. The reports contain recent data relating to sales prices, worker and farmer compensation and output that are often detailed by facility or company. Participating processors accounted for more than 90% of broiler chicken sales, 80% of pork sales and 90% of turkey sales in the U.S.

Price ﬁxing allegation

The complaint further alleges Agri Stats understood that meat processors have used these reports for anticompetitive purposes and, in some instances, even encouraged meat processors to raise prices and reduce supply. “While distributing troves of competitively sensitive information among participating processors, Agri Stats withholds its reports from meat purchasers, workers and American consumers, resulting in an information asymmetry that further exacerbates the competitive harm of Agri Stats’ information exchanges,”

Farms - Ranches Recreational - Commercial

the press release stated. The complaint alleges Agri Stats’ scheme continues to this day in the chicken processing industry, among others. While Agri Stats paused its turkey and pork reporting after facing several private antitrust lawsuits, Agri Stats has expressed an intent to resume such reporting after these lawsuits’ resolution, according to the Justice Department.

Agri Stats’ rebuttal

Agri Stats contends DOJ’s lawsuit is wrong on the law and bad for consumers. “The lawsuit threatens serious harm to American consumers of chicken, pork and turkey because protein producers depend upon Agri Stats’ reports to help them identify opportunities to reduce production costs to keep prices low,” the company stated in a press release. Contrary to the law and the facts, DOJ’s lawsuit alleges Agri Stats’ reports result in higher prices and lower protein production, the company stated. “Since its inception in 1985, Agri Stats has played a vital role in the United States economy, helping to drive increased efficiency, improved innovation and ultimately provide more chicken, pork and turkey to consumers for less money,” the company stated. DOJ previously recognized there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Agri Stats after it investigated the company for two years over a decade ago and closing the investigation in 2012, the company stated. Instead of its prior investigation, DOJ appears to be relying upon private class actions that have been filed against Agri Stats and protein producers in the chicken, pork and turkey industries. One court has already ruled on summary judgment there was no evidence Agri Stats’ reports contained data that could be used to fix prices or reduce output, the company stated.

The crop started slowly, Shroll said. He planted later than usual, and subsequently had “a decent amount of replants.” His sugar beets caught up, thanks to good midseason conditions, including ample heat units but no long periods with temperatures too high, he said. In the eastern Magic Valley, Patterson replanted about one-third of his crop. “We had a terrible spring here,” including rain and hail in May and June, he said. His early-harvested beets yielded about 32 tons per acre if they were hit by hail and 42 if they were not. “We had quite a few beets aﬀected by those early storms,” Patterson said. “We had a good summer.”

Remnants of Hurricane Hilary, which developed in the western Pacific Ocean in August, “brought humidity and caused Cercospera Leaf Spot to spread later in the growing season,” said Griffin of Amalgamated Sugar. The fungal disease this year was “as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” said Chris Payne, who farms between Ontario and Vale, Ore. However, “if you don’t have Cercospera in the field, the crop looks really good.” Growers across the region are optimistic about the 2023 crop, said Samantha Parrott, executive director of the Snake River Sugarbeet Growers Association. “Growers have expressed that we have a solid crop this year that probably won’t break records but will be about average,” she said. As for the schedule, “last harvest it was extremely dry, so even though there is a delay, growers are happy to have the moisture,” Parrott said. “Rain is always a challenge,” said association board president Doug Evans of Blackfoot, in eastern Idaho. “We just deal with it and do the best we can.”

Waterville, WA

The margin between milk prices and feed costs grew in August to $6.46 per hundredweight. It’s not much to celebrate, but it is up signiﬁcantly from $3.52 in July — the lowest margin in USDA’s Dairy Margin Protection program, which began in 2019. That margin is the difference between USDA’s calculated milk price of $19.70 cwt. and calculated feed costs of $13.24 cwt. The milk price in August increased $1.80 from July, and feed costs declined $0.61. DMP payments for August are expected to total $120 million. But margins have been below $8 all year, and indemnity payments thus far have totaled more than $1.2 billion.

Budget strain

Dairy farmers have been ﬁnancially challenged all year and are struggling, said Rick Naerebout, CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association. See Dairy, Page C14

Dairy

Continued from Page C8

Cost of production in Idaho has been about $21 cwt. Milk prices have averaged between $16 and $17 but were about $13 at the low point, he said. Idaho producers — 360 and falling — have had to borrow more money than usual and at higher interest rates, he said. Hopefully, things get better in 2024, he said. “But international and domestic demand are nothing to write home about. Correction likely needs to come from the supply side with less milk,” he said.

Indemnity payments

Producers who covered 5 million pounds of annual milk production or less (Tier 1 in the program) at the highest insurable margin of $9.50 cwt. will receive an indemnity payment for August of $3.04 cwt. for the milk they insured. Producers who covered milk above 5 million pounds of annual production (Tier II) at the highest insurable margin of $8 will receive an indemnity payment of $1.54 cwt. Rick for the milk they insured. It’s unlikely much milk was covered at Naerebout that Tier II level, however, given the high price of premiums. Producers can cover their ﬁrst 5 million pounds of milk at the highest insurable margin of $9.50 cwt. for a premium of $0.15 cwt. But insuring production above 5 million pounds at the highest level of $8 cwt. carries a premium of $1.81 cwt. Getty Images/Steverts

Holstein cattle grazing on the farm.

Big production

Idaho produced 16.6 billion pounds of milk statewide in 2022. While herd sizes diﬀer, average production per dairy across the state’s 360 producers would be about 46 million pounds — well above the 5 million-pound Tier I cap. “With our production and DMC only covering so little of it, Idaho dairymen are utilizing other tools to hedge their risk. Dairy Revenue Protection, contracting directly through a brokerage on the CME and forward pricing through their milk buyer are all typical strategies we see employed,” Naerebout said. USDA is forecasting a margin above $8 in September and October and a margin above $9 in November and December. The agency forecasts an average margin of $6.69 for the year, with the all-milk price averaging $20.47 and feed costs averaging $13.78.
