Facing Yakima Water Shortage, Farmers and Tribes Exemplify Collaboration
Update: 2025-10-13
Description
Ongoing drought conditions have led to water shortages in the Yakima River Basin severe enough that water to many farms has been shut off.
Sunnyside-area dairy farmer Jason Sheehan, who also serves on the board of the affected Roza Irrigation District, joins Dillon and Whatcom Family Farmers Executive Director Fred Likkel to explain what the shutoffs have meant for farming, and how the collaborative Yakima Basin Integrated Plan has helped tribes, farmers and others share and protect the dwindling water supply.
