State Threatens To Take 85-Year-Old’s Farm Over Water Technicality

An 85-year-old lifelong Washington state farmer near Spokane could lose his entire farm if the Washington State Department of Ecology gets its way.

The Department of Ecology is threatening to take Bob Greiff’s Deer Park-area property in an ongoing dispute over a minor water rights technicality.

Greiff joins Dillon to explain how he’s tried to do everything Ecology has asked in order to solve the problem, and how the state continues to dig in its heels with little explanation.
