Agriculture

Agriculture is an important industry in Washington State, and we support programs to insure the availability of high-quality food, and to preserve family farms to maintain the viability of the land.

We support:

  • Policies that promote and encourage safe, clean local food production;
  • The production of food in close proximity to consumers in Washington State;
  • The use of household gardens for food production;
  • Food production and small farm classes in Washington State schools;
  • Industrial hemp as a source of jobs in the growing, processing, manufacture and export of industrial hemp and hemp-based products;
  • Legislation requiring the clear labeling of foods containing GMOs, and Country of Origin Labeling;
  • Legislation that bans the use of the pesticides glyphosate (Roundup) and neonicotinoids (believed to be the central cause of bee colony collapse) in Washington State.

We oppose:

  • Food production and distribution that depends on energy inefficient machinery;
  • The production, processing and transportation of food by large unaccountable corporations that rob the consumer of knowledge about food products and stifle the local economy;
  • The use of prime agricultural lands for non-agricultural uses.

Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Most of our website’s video content includes automated captions. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube.
